Sheriff Election — Rutland County, Vermont
Rutland 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. Rutland City as shire, marble towns, and Killington-as-town are taught at Rutland County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
When the marble county 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.
A Killington town race is a town race. Windsor and Bennington hire their own sheriffs. 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 mountain rumor or a marble-shed thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Secretary of State
- Vermont Voter Portal
- Current Sheriff of record — official Rutland County Sheriff’s Department site
- city and town clerks from Rutland City to Brandon
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring the Sheriff of Rutland County — civil process from Pawlet to Killington, court security in Rutland, transport toward DOC in this shire that remains DOC. You are not hiring Rutland City Police. You are not hiring the Windsor 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 Wells to Chittenden the town. Relief in a mountain washout is this count first.
