Sheriff Election — Randolph County, Alabama
Randolph Sheriff · the arena · the Georgia-line county hires this desk in 2026 · in Wedowee, Alabama
The 2026 oval in Wedowee, not in Roanoke, not in Randolph County, North Carolina
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 Randolph County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Wedowee hires a Sheriff who still holds Probilt Drive
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. Five district Commissioners sit — not this oval. A North Carolina rumor does not hire this badge. Randolph County, North Carolina, is a different state. Randolph County, Georgia, is a different state. Roanoke is not the hall. Roanoke, Virginia, is a different state. Hedgeman Triplett’s Ferry is not the hall now. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk at 1 Main, not Probilt Drive
Absentee / Circuit Clerk: 1 Main Street, Wedowee, AL 36278. That is the courthouse listing — not the jail at 340 Probilt Drive, not Roanoke City Hall, not a North Carolina clerk as a substitute for this absentee desk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Wedowee — not Randolph County, Georgia
Do not take names from a North Carolina rumor or a Roanoke mill postcard as if it were the hall.

If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Georgia-line patrol and a Probilt Drive jail, not Roanoke PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Randolph County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Main, and detention this office still maintains at 340 Probilt. You are not hiring Roanoke Police. You are not hiring ADOC. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for detention as this jailer, Wedowee as the seat, and Roanoke as not this hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Wadley
A bad service or a paper that missed Woodland — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not North Carolina.
Relief when the Tallapoosa comes up
High water on the Tallapoosa, a wreck on U.S. 431, a night road outside Wadley — this county’s mutual aid first. Chambers is a different count. Clay is a different count. Roanoke city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Main Street docket, a Probilt night shift
Papers. A Wedowee courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated U.S. 431 frontage remains this badge. County detention remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a North Carolina rumor
A levy in Wadley still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Randolph.
Rights from Woodland to the Georgia line
Equal protection on the Piedmont map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Wedowee and a family in Roanoke hire the same Sheriff.
