Sheriff Election — Marengo County, Alabama
Marengo Sheriff · the arena · a Black Belt county hires this desk in 2026 · in Linden
The 2026 oval in Linden, not in Demopolis as the hall, not in Marengo, Illinois
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 Marengo County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Linden hires a Sheriff who still holds 101 Dunn
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 Commissioners sit — not this oval. A Demopolis rumor does not hire this badge as the hall. Demopolis is a city. Marengo, Illinois, is a different state. Linden kept the seat after 1871.
Circuit Clerk on Coats Avenue, not at the Dunn Street house
101 East Coats Avenue, Linden, AL 36748. Not 101 Dunn Street. Not Demopolis City Hall. Not Illinois. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Linden — not a Demopolis city flyer
Do not take names from an Illinois rumor or a Demopolis postcard as the hall.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Marengo 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 county jail this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Marengo County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across the Tombigbee remainder, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Coats Avenue, and detention at 101 Dunn Street. You are not hiring Demopolis Police. You are not hiring the Governor. You are not hiring Illinois.
Read the office page for 101 Dunn as this jailer and Linden as the seat.
Remedy when a writ misses Sweet Water
A bad service or a paper that missed Faunsdale — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Illinois.
Relief when the Tombigbee comes up at Demopolis
High water on the Tombigbee, a wreck on U.S. 43, a night road outside Thomaston — this county’s mutual aid first. Dallas is a different count. Sumter is a different count. Demopolis city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Coats Avenue docket, a Dunn Street night shift
Papers. A Linden courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 80 frontage remains this badge. The county detention house remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for an Illinois rumor
A levy in Thomaston still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Marengo.
Rights from Demopolis’s county remainder to Thomaston
Equal protection on the Black Belt map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Demopolis’s county remainder and a family in Sweet Water hire the same Sheriff.
