Sheriff Election — Montgomery County, Alabama
Montgomery Sheriff · the arena · the capital county hires this desk in 2026 · in the city of Montgomery · the capital is here
The 2026 oval in the capital county, not in Prattville, not in Rockville
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 Montgomery County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
The capital county hires a Sheriff who still holds Mac Sim Butler
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. The Governor’s office sits in this city. It is still a different desk. Five district Commissioners sit — not this oval. A Maryland rumor does not hire this badge. Prattville is Autauga. Wetumpka is Elmore. The capital is here.
Absentee at Phelps-Price, 251 South Lawrence — not City Hall, not the State House as this clerk
Circuit Clerk / Absentee: Phelps-Price Justice Center, 251 South Lawrence Street, Montgomery, AL 36104. Election Center also lists at 125 Washington Avenue (Annex II). That is county clerk work — not Montgomery City Hall, not the State House as this clerk, not Prattville, not a Maryland clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Montgomery County, Alabama — not Maryland, not Autauga
Do not take names from a Rockville rumor, a Prattville flyer, or a State House postcard as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Montgomery County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — capital-remainder patrol and a 1,200-person house, not Kilby
You are hiring the Sheriff of Montgomery County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across Pike Road remainder, Hope Hull, Ramer, and Pintlala; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 251 South Lawrence; and Mac Sim Butler at 225 South McDonough. You are not hiring Montgomery Police. You are not hiring ADOC. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Mac Sim Butler as this jailer, the city of Montgomery as the seat and the capital, Kilby as ADOC, and Maryland as a different oval.
Remedy when a writ misses Pike Road
A bad service or a paper that missed Hope Hull or Ramer — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Maryland. Not Autauga as this oval.
Relief when I-85 ices north of the river
Ice on I-65 / I-85, a wreck on the river bend, a night road outside Pintlala — this county’s mutual aid first. Autauga is a different count. Elmore is a different count. Montgomery city hall is a different government. The State House is a different government.
Service — papers, a Justice Center docket, a McDonough night shift
Papers. A Phelps-Price courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-85 frontage remains this badge. Mac Sim Butler remains this badge. Kilby does not.
Due process does not wait for a Maryland rumor
A levy in unincorporated Montgomery still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Rockville.
Rights from Hope Hull to the Elmore line
Equal protection on the capital-county map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Lawrence Street and a family in Ramer hire the same Sheriff.
