Sheriff Election — Lamoille County, Vermont
Lamoille Sheriff · the arena · this map hires this desk · not a statewide two-year race
This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. Hyde Park as shire and Stowe as a town-not-seat are taught at Lamoille County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
When the mountain county hires the shire desk
Four years (Chapter II, § 50). Takes office 1 February. Last regular 2022. SOS lists Sheriff for 2026. Primary 11 August 2026. General Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Take-office after a regular 2026 win: 1 February 2027.
A Stowe town race is a town race. Chittenden and Washington hire their own sheriffs. The Governor’s two-year desk is not this hire.
County-office petitions: 100 signatures, major-party filing with the county clerk. Vermont mails the general ballot by October 1 — vote.vermont.gov. Polls close 7 p.m. Confirm on the Secretary of State.
Sample ballot wins
Do not take names from a resort sidewalk or a notch parking lot.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Secretary of State
- Vermont Voter Portal
- Current Sheriff of record — official Lamoille County Sheriff’s Department site
- town clerks from Hyde Park to Stowe
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lamoille County — civil process from Belvidere to Elmore, court security in Hyde Park, transport toward DOC houses in other counties. You are not hiring Stowe Police. You are not hiring the Washington County Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor. Read the office page first.
Rights, remedy, relief, service, due process
Papers honestly. Courthouse without a circus. Transport without a shortcut. Remedy is official doors and courts. Equal protection from Wolcott to Cambridge. Relief when the notch closes is this count first.
