Sheriff Election — Coosa County, Alabama
Coosa Sheriff · the arena · the thin-population river county hires this desk in 2026 · in Rockford
The 2026 oval in Rockford, not in Goodwater, not in Talladega
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Coosa County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Rockford hires a Sheriff who still holds School Street
Article V, § 138: four years. The Secretary of State 2026 page lists various county offices on the gubernatorial ballot.
- Closed primary: Tuesday, 19 May 2026 (already sat).
- Primary runoff: Tuesday, 16 June 2026 (already sat where needed).
- General: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- Take office: Ala. Code § 36-3-4 — Monday, 18 January 2027.
- Vacancy: Governor appointment (§ 36-9-17). Coroner acts until a successor is chosen (§ 11-5-5).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Commissioners sit — not this oval. A Talladega rumor does not hire this badge. Goodwater is a town. Coosa is not Talladega County.
Circuit Clerk at 9709 U.S. 231, not School Street

Sample ballot in Rockford — not a Talladega suburb flyer
Do not take names from a mill-town rumor or a Talladega postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Coosa County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Coosa River patrol and a School Street house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Coosa County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across pine hills and river coves, warrants, civil process, courthouse security, and the County Jail at 296 School Street. You are not hiring a Talladega sheriff. You are not hiring a Goodwater mayor. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for School Street as this jailer and Goodwater as a town.
Remedy when a writ misses Weogufka
A bad service or a paper that missed the pine — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Talladega.
Relief when Lay Lake comes up
A rise on the Coosa, a wreck on U.S. 231, inland flooding on a pine branch — this county’s mutual aid first. Elmore’s Wetumpka is a different count. Talladega County is a different count. Goodwater’s town hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a School Street night shift, thin-population roads
Papers. A U.S. 231 courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Weogufka road remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Talladega rumor
A levy in Equality still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different county.
Rights from Kellyton to Equality
Equal protection on the thin-population map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Goodwater’s town remainder and a family in Weogufka hire the same Sheriff.
