Sheriff Election — Greene County, Alabama
Greene Sheriff · the arena · the least-populous county hires this desk in 2026 · in Eutaw, Alabama
The 2026 oval in Eutaw, not in Greene County, Georgia, not in Greenville
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 Greene County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Eutaw hires a Sheriff who still holds Finches Ferry
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 district Commissioners who elect their own chair sit — not this oval. Probate does not sit on this Commission. A Georgia rumor does not hire this badge. Greene County, Georgia, is a different state. Greenville is Butler. Greensboro is Hale. Erie is not the hall now. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk at 400 Morrow, not Finches Ferry
Absentee Election Manager: 400 Morrow Avenue, Eutaw, AL 35462. That is the SOS listing — not the jail at 951 Finches Ferry Road, not Eutaw City Hall, not a Georgia 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 Eutaw — not Greene County, Mississippi
Do not take names from a Georgia rumor or a Greenville postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Greene County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Black Belt patrol and a Finches Ferry jail, not Eutaw PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Greene County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Morrow, and detention this office still maintains at Finches Ferry. You are not hiring Eutaw Police. You are not hiring ADOC. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for detention as this jailer, Eutaw as the seat, and Georgia as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Forkland
A bad service or a paper that missed Boligee — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Georgia.
Relief when the Tombigbee comes up
High water on the Tombigbee, a wreck on I-59, a night road outside Forkland — this county’s mutual aid first. Hale is a different count. Sumter is a different count. Eutaw city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Branch courthouse docket, a Finches Ferry night shift
Papers. An Eutaw courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-59 frontage remains this badge. County detention remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Georgia rumor
A levy in Forkland still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Greene.
Rights from Boligee to the Hale line
Equal protection on the Black Belt map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Eutaw and a family in Forkland hire the same Sheriff.
