Sheriff Election — Merrimack County, New Hampshire
Merrimack Sheriff · the arena · the capital county hires this desk · 2026 is the regular two-year
This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Merrimack County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Two years in the capital county
RSA 653:1: two years. Merrimack is on the default. SOS table: 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030. Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Primary Tuesday, 8 September 2026. Takes office RSA 653:10. The Governor is also 2026, two-year — a different oval. The Attorney General is not on the ballot. The presidential primary is a different year. Manchester is not this county.
Sample ballot wins
Do not take names from a primary-night thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Secretary of State
- City and town clerks — Concord, Franklin, Boscawen, Hooksett, New London, and the rest
- Current Sheriff of record — official Merrimack County Sheriff listing / SOS county roster
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
One two-year Sheriff for this county: civil process, court security and transport, warrants, dispatch as the office actually covers smaller towns. Not the jail superintendent. Not NHDOC. Not Concord Police. Not the Governor. Read the office page before you read a mailer. Vacancy mid-term is the county convention. Age seventy vacates the chair.
Dome is not this oval
A wrong paper or a mistreated transport: official complaint door and the courts. Relief in ice on 89 is this county’s mutual aid first. Service of process is a person at a door in Andover. Due process does not pause for a primary. Equal protection from New London to Allenstown.
