Sheriff Election — Cullman County, Alabama
Cullman Sheriff · the arena · a plateau county hires this desk in 2026 · in Cullman the city
The 2026 oval in Cullman the city, not in Hanceville, not in Jefferson
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 Cullman County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Cullman the city hires a Sheriff who still holds 1900 Beech
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. A chairman plus four district Commissioners sit — not this oval. A Birmingham rumor does not hire this badge. Hanceville is a city. Jefferson County is a different count.
Circuit Clerk Room 303 on Second Avenue, not Beech
Absentee Election Manager: 500 Second Ave SW, Room 303, Cullman, AL 35055. That is the SOS listing — not the Detention Center at 1900 Beech, not Cullman City Hall, not Hanceville as a substitute for the absentee desk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Cullman the city, not Jefferson County
Do not take names from a Birmingham rumor or a Hanceville postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Cullman County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — I-65 plateau patrol and a Beech Detention Center, not Cullman PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Cullman County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Second Avenue, and the Detention Center at 1900 Beech. You are not hiring Cullman Police. You are not hiring Hanceville Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 1900 Beech as this jailer, Cullman the city as the seat, and Jefferson as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Holly Pond
A bad service or a paper that missed Crane Hill — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Jefferson County.
Relief when I-65 ices at the Morgan line
Ice on I-65, a wreck on U.S. 278, a night road outside Holly Pond — this county’s mutual aid first. Blount is a different count. Morgan is a different count. Cullman city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Beech night shift, plateau roads
Papers. A Second Avenue courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-65 frontage remains this badge. The county Detention Center remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Birmingham rumor
A levy in Holly Pond still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Jefferson County.
Rights from Hanceville to the Winston line
Equal protection on the plateau map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Cullman the city and a family in Hanceville hire the same Sheriff.
