Sheriff Election — Fayette County, Alabama
Fayette Sheriff · the arena · a Sipsey county hires this desk in 2026 · in Fayette the city, Alabama
The 2026 oval in Fayette the city, not in Fayetteville, not in Fayette County, Georgia
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 Fayette County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Fayette the city hires a Sheriff who still holds First Avenue
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. Six district Commissioners and a Probate chair sit — not this oval. A Fayetteville rumor does not hire this badge. Fayette County, Georgia, is a different state. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk on Temple, not Berry Town Hall
Absentee Election Manager: 113 Temple Avenue, Fayette, AL 35555. That is the SOS listing — not the jail at 113 1st Avenue NW, not Fayette City Hall, not a Fayetteville clerk as a substitute for this absentee desk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Fayette the city — not Fayetteville
Do not take names from a Fayetteville rumor or a Georgia postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Fayette County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Sipsey-road patrol and a First Avenue jail, not Fayette PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Fayette County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Temple, and detention this office still maintains. You are not hiring Fayette Police. You are not hiring ADOC. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for detention as this jailer, Fayette the city as the seat, and Fayetteville as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Berry
A bad service or a paper that missed Bankston — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Six Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Fayetteville.
Relief when the Sipsey comes up
High water on the Sipsey, a wreck on U.S. 43, a night road outside Berry — this county’s mutual aid first. Marion is a different count. Lamar is a different count. Fayette city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Temple docket, a First Avenue night shift
Papers. A Fayette courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 43 frontage remains this badge. County detention remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Fayetteville rumor
A levy in Berry still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Fayette.
Rights from Belk to the Walker line
Equal protection on the Sipsey map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Fayette the city and a family in Berry hire the same Sheriff.
