Sheriff Election — Lamar County, Alabama
Lamar Sheriff · the arena · a Mississippi-line county hires this desk in 2026 · in Vernon, Alabama
The 2026 oval in Vernon, not in Paris, Texas
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 Lamar County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Vernon hires a Sheriff who still holds County Road 9
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. Four district Commissioners sit — not this oval. A Texas rumor does not hire this badge. Lamar County, Texas, is a different state. Sulligent is a city, not the hall. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk on First Street, not Sulligent City Hall
Absentee Election Manager: 330 1st Street NE, Vernon, AL 35592. That is the SOS listing — not the jail at 1118 County Road 9, not Sulligent City Hall, not a Texas 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 Vernon, not Lamar County, Georgia
Do not take names from a Texas rumor or a Barnesville postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Lamar County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Mississippi-line patrol and a county jail this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lamar County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on First Street, and detention at 1118 County Road 9. You are not hiring Vernon PD. You are not hiring a Texas Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for County Road 9 as this jailer, Vernon as the seat, and Texas as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Millport
A bad service or a paper that missed Beaverton — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Four Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Texas.
Relief when U.S. 278 floods
High water on a Tombigbee tributary, a wreck on U.S. 278, a night road outside Sulligent — this county’s mutual aid first. Fayette is a different count. Marion is a different count. Vernon city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a First Street docket, a County Road 9 night shift
Papers. A Vernon courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 278 frontage remains this badge. County detention remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Texas rumor
A levy in Millport still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Lamar.
Rights from Beaverton to the Pickens line
Equal protection on the Mississippi-line map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Vernon and a family in Millport hire the same Sheriff.
