Sheriff Election — Orleans County, Vermont
Orleans Sheriff · the arena · this map hires this desk · not a statewide two-year race
This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. Newport, Memphremagog, and the Kingdom as three counties are taught at Orleans County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
When the north Kingdom hires
Four years (Chapter II, § 50). Takes office 1 February. Last regular 2022. SOS lists Sheriff for 2026. Primary 11 August 2026. General Tuesday, 3 November 2026. Take-office after a regular 2026 win: 1 February 2027.
Caledonia and Essex hire their own sheriffs. A Jay town race is a town race. The Governor’s two-year desk is not this hire.
County-office petitions: 100 signatures, major-party filing with the county clerk. Vermont mails the general ballot by October 1 — vote.vermont.gov. Polls close 7 p.m. Confirm on the Secretary of State.
Sample ballot wins
Do not take names from a lake rumor or a Kingdom slogan.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Secretary of State
- Vermont Voter Portal
- Current Sheriff of record — official Orleans County Sheriff’s Department site
- city and town clerks from Newport to Jay
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring the Sheriff of Orleans County — civil process from Greensboro to Holland, court security in Newport, transport toward DOC in the same city that remains DOC. You are not hiring the Caledonia County Sheriff. You are not hiring the Governor. Read the office page first.
Rights, remedy, relief, service, due process
Papers honestly. Courthouse without a circus. Transport without a shortcut. Remedy is official doors and courts. Equal protection from Craftsbury to Holland. Relief in a lake-effect blow is this count first.
