Sheriff Election — Morgan County, Alabama
Morgan Sheriff · the arena · a Tennessee River county hires this desk in 2026 · in Decatur · Huntsville remains Madison
The 2026 oval in Decatur, not in Huntsville, not in Moulton
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 Morgan County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Decatur hires a Sheriff who still holds 119 Lee Street
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. Four district Commissioners and a Chairman sit — not this oval. A Huntsville rumor does not hire this badge. Hartselle is a city, not the hall. Moulton is Lawrence. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk at 302 Lee Street, not Hartselle City Hall
Absentee Election Manager / Circuit Clerk: 302 Lee Street NE, Decatur, AL 35601 (Absentee has listed first floor). Confirm the live door if renovation has moved a clerk to a temporary annex. That is not Hartselle City Hall, not Decatur City Hall, not a Madison clerk in Huntsville as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Morgan County, Alabama — not Madison, not a rocket flyer
Do not take names from a Huntsville rumor, a Moulton flyer, or a Hartselle postcard as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Morgan County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — river-remainder patrol and a 994-bed house
You are hiring the Sheriff of Morgan County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across Hartselle remainder, Priceville remainder, Falkville, Trinity, Somerville, and Eva; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 302 Lee Street; and the jail at 119 Lee Street NE. You are not hiring Decatur Police. You are not hiring Madison’s Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 119 Lee as this jailer, Decatur as the seat, Huntsville as Madison, and Moulton as Lawrence.
Remedy when a writ misses Falkville
A bad service or a paper that missed Trinity or Eva — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Huntsville. Not Moulton.
Relief when the Tennessee comes up at Decatur
High water on the river, a wreck on I-65, a night road outside Priceville — this county’s mutual aid first. Madison is a different count. Lawrence is a different count. Decatur city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a 302 Lee docket, a 119 Lee night shift
Papers. A Decatur courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-65 frontage remains this badge. The Lee Street jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Huntsville rumor
A levy in unincorporated Morgan still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a rocket.
Rights from Trinity to the Marshall line
Equal protection on the river-industrial map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Lee Street and a family in Somerville hire the same Sheriff.
