Sheriff Election — Kennebec County, Maine
Kennebec Sheriff · the arena · the Augusta map hires this desk · not in 2026
This is Side Two
The job is on the office twin. The place is Kennebec County. Not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot when this office is on it. No crown.
The capital's sheriff is 2028, not the Governor's 2026
Constitution Article IX, Section 10. SOS table revised 27 February 2026: Kennebec Sheriff 2028. Tuesday, 3 November 2026 is not a Kennebec sheriff general. The Governor is 2026. This desk is not. Next regular: Tuesday, 7 November 2028. Vacancy: Constitution and 30-A M.R.S. § 371-B, not a made-up November oval.
Sample ballot still wins — when there is one
- Secretary of State — read the live card. If Sheriff is absent in 2026, that is the clock.
- Town and city clerks on this map
- Current Sheriff of record — official Kennebec County Sheriff / Judicial Branch list
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are not hiring this year
You are not hiring a Kennebec Sheriff on the 2026 general. Read the office page for the 2028 job. A four-year desk: Winthrop Street office, Kennebec jail (confirm live), court in the capital city. Not the Governor. Not Augusta Police. Not Portland.
Capital-county rights do not wait
A wrong paper or a mistreated transport in 2026 is still a complaint door and the courts. Relief when the Kennebec ices is still this county’s mutual aid. Service of process is still a person in Litchfield. Due process does not pause because the next oval is 2028. Equal protection from Clinton to West Gardiner.
