Sheriff Election — Monroe County, Alabama
Monroe Sheriff · the arena · a pine-country county hires this desk in 2026 · in Monroeville · the Keys remain a different state
The 2026 oval on Courthouse Square, not in Key West, not in Excel City Hall
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 Monroe County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Monroeville hires a Sheriff who still holds the Mount Pleasant house
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 Key West rumor does not hire this badge. Excel is a town, not the hall. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk on North Alabama Avenue, not the 1903 museum
Absentee Election Manager / Circuit Clerk: 65 North Alabama Avenue, Monroeville, AL 36460. That is the 1963 working courthouse — not the 1903 museum, not Monroeville City Hall, not a Florida clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Monroe County, Alabama — not Monroe County, Florida
Do not take names from a Keys rumor, a Michigan flyer, or a museum postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Monroe County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — pine-country patrol and a Mount Pleasant house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Monroe County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across Excel, Frisco City, Beatrice, and the Claiborne remainder; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 65 North Alabama Avenue; and the detention house at 215 North Mount Pleasant Avenue. You are not hiring Monroeville Police. You are not hiring a Florida Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Mount Pleasant as this jailer, Monroeville as the seat, the 1963 hall as the court, and the Keys as a different state.
Remedy when a writ misses Frisco City
A bad service or a paper that missed Excel or Beatrice — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Florida. Not the museum.
Relief when the Alabama River comes up at Claiborne
High water on the old landing, a wreck on U.S. 84, a night road outside Vredenburgh — this county’s mutual aid first. Clarke is a different count. Conecuh is a different count. Monroeville city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a 1963 docket, a Mount Pleasant night shift
Papers. A square courtroom that is a court. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated pine road remains this badge. The detention house remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Keys rumor
A levy in unincorporated Monroe still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Monroe.
Rights from Beatrice to the Baldwin line
Equal protection on the pine-and-river map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on the square and a family in Excel hire the same Sheriff.
