Sheriff Election — Queen Anne's County, Maryland
Queen Anne's Sheriff · the arena · the eastern landing hires this desk in 2026
The 2026 oval on the eastern landing
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 Queen Anne's County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Centreville hires a Shore patrol Sheriff
Article IV, § 44: four years. The SBE 2026 offices page lists Sheriff as a local office on the gubernatorial ballot — same even-year Tuesday as Governor, Attorney General, State Senate, and House of Delegates.
- Closed primary: Tuesday, 23 June 2026 (already sat).
- General: Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
- Qualify / enter: Art. XVII § 4 — as soon as practicable; immediately upon qualification.
- Vacancy: Governor appointment for the remainder.
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Commissioners sit on a code-home-rule map — not this oval. Class II U.S. Senate is not a 2026 Maryland race. An Anne Arundel rumor does not hire this badge. Kent Island is this county’s map, not this oval’s neighbor.
Board of Elections sits on Vincit Street
110 Vincit Street, Suite 102, Centreville, MD 21617. Not 505 Railroad Avenue. Not 500 Little Hut Drive. Not Stevensville. Not Annapolis. Confirm registration, sample ballot, early voting (22–29 October 2026 on the live SBE page), and mail-in on elections.maryland.gov and voter lookup.
Sample ballot in Centreville, not Stevensville
Do not take names from a Bridge postcard or a Prince George's rumor.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Maryland SBE
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Queen Anne's County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Railroad Avenue patrol, not a Little Hut Warden
You are hiring the Sheriff of Queen Anne's County — primary patrol, warrants, civil process, Circuit Court security. You are not hiring Centreville Police. You are not hiring the Warden of the Detention Center as this oval. You are not hiring Anne Arundel Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Little Hut Drive as not this patrol desk.
Remedy when a writ misses Kent Island
A bad service or a paper that missed Grasonville — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Annapolis.
Relief when the Bay comes up at the Bridge
A Bay flood, ice on U.S. 50, a closure at the eastern landing — this county’s mutual aid first. Anne Arundel’s western landing is a different count. Kent’s Chester River is a different count.
Service — Island substations, papers, a Shore night shift
Papers. A Court House Square courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 in unincorporated Stevensville remains this badge. The Chester substation and the Sudlersville substation are this office’s doors, not a second Sheriff.
Due process does not wait for an Anne Arundel rumor
A levy in Church Hill still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed the wrong landing.
Rights from Sudlersville to Romancoke
Equal protection on the Kent Island map and the inland map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A waterman at Matapeake and a farmer at Sudlersville hire the same Sheriff.
