Sheriff Election — Lawrence County, Alabama
Lawrence Sheriff · the arena · a Bankhead Forest county hires this desk in 2026 · in Moulton
The 2026 oval in Moulton, not in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee
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 Lawrence County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Moulton hires a Sheriff who still holds Parker Road
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 sit — not this oval. A Tennessee rumor does not hire this badge. Lawrence County, Tennessee, is a different state. Courtland is a town, not the hall. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk on Market Street, not Courtland City Hall
Circuit Clerk / Absentee: 14451 Market Street, Suite 300, Moulton, AL 35650. That is the SOS / AlaCourt listing — not the jail at 242 Parker Road, not Courtland City Hall, not a Tennessee clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Moulton, not Lawrence County, Ohio
Do not take names from a Lawrenceburg rumor, a Courtland flyer, or a Decatur postcard.

If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Bankhead Forest patrol and a jail this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lawrence County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across the forest and the valley, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Court Street / Market Street, and detention at 242 Parker Road. You are not hiring Moulton PD. You are not hiring a Tennessee Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Parker Road as this jailer, Moulton as the seat, and Courtland as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Town Creek
A bad service or a paper that missed Hatton — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Tennessee.
Relief when Wheeler Lake comes up
High water toward Wheeler Lake, a wreck on Alabama 157, fog in Bankhead — this county’s mutual aid first. Morgan is a different count. Colbert is a different count. Moulton city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Court Street docket, a Parker Road night shift
Papers. A Moulton courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated forest road remains this badge. County detention remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Lawrenceburg rumor
A levy in Hillsboro still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Lawrence.
Rights from Hillsboro to the Winston line
Equal protection on the forest-and-valley map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Moulton and a family in Town Creek hire the same Sheriff.
