Sheriff Election — Pike County, Alabama
Pike Sheriff · the arena · the southeast county hires this desk in 2026 · in Troy, Alabama
The 2026 oval in Troy, Alabama, not in Pike County, Georgia, not on the university campus as this oval
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 Pike County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Troy hires a Sheriff who still holds Three Notch
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. A six-member Commission that elects its chair from membership annually sits — not this oval. Probate does not chair this Commission. A Georgia rumor does not hire this badge. Pike County, Georgia, is a different state. Troy University is a school. Brundidge is not the hall. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk at 1318 N Three Notch, not 120 Church as the sitting circuit house now
Absentee Election Manager: 1318 N. Three Notch Street, Troy, AL 36081. That is the SOS listing — not the old 1957 jail, not Troy City Hall, not a university registrar as a substitute for this absentee desk. Probate remains at 120 W. Church Street. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Troy — not Pike County, Kentucky
Do not take names from a Georgia rumor or a campus postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Pike County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — southeast-Alabama patrol and a Three Notch jail, not Troy PD, not TUPD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Pike County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Three Notch, and detention this office still maintains at the Judicial Detention Complex. You are not hiring Troy Police. You are not hiring Troy University Police. You are not hiring ADOC. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for detention as this jailer, Troy, Alabama as the seat, and the university as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Brundidge
A bad service or a paper that missed Goshen — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Six Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Georgia.
Relief when U.S. 231 ices
Ice on U.S. 231, high water on the Conecuh, a night road outside Banks — this county’s mutual aid first. Coffee is a different count. Crenshaw is a different count. Troy city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Three Notch docket, a jail night shift this Sheriff still holds
Papers. A Troy, Alabama courtroom on Three Notch. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 231 frontage remains this badge. County detention remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Georgia rumor
A levy in Brundidge still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Pike.
Rights from Goshen to the Barbour line
Equal protection on the southeast map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Troy, Alabama and a family in Brundidge hire the same Sheriff.
