Sheriff Election — Somerset County, Maryland
Somerset Sheriff · the arena · the southernmost county hires this desk in 2026
The 2026 oval on Tangier Sound
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 Somerset County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Princess Anne hires a Lower 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 by district sit on a traditional commission map — not this oval. Class II U.S. Senate is not a 2026 Maryland race. A New Jersey rumor does not hire this badge. Somerset County, New Jersey, is a different constitution.
Board of Elections sits on Somerset Avenue
11916 Somerset Avenue, Princess Anne, MD 21853 (mail: P.O. Box 96). Not 7920 Crisfield Highway. Not 30474 Revells Neck Road. Not Crisfield. Not Salisbury. 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 Princess Anne, not Crisfield
Do not take names from a crab-house rumor or a New Jersey postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Maryland SBE
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Somerset County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Westover patrol, not a Revells Neck Warden
You are hiring the Sheriff of Somerset County, Maryland — road patrol, warrants, civil process, Circuit Court security. You are not hiring Princess Anne Police. You are not hiring Crisfield Police. You are not hiring the Warden of the Detention Center as this oval. You are not hiring the warden of Eastern Correctional Institution. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Revells Neck as not this patrol desk.
Remedy when a writ misses Smith Island
A bad service or a paper that missed Deal Island — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Salisbury.
Relief when the Bay comes up at Crisfield
A Tangier Sound flood, ice on U.S. 13, a closure on Maryland 413 — this county’s mutual aid first. Wicomico’s Salisbury is a different count. Worcester’s Ocean City is a different count.
Service — Road Patrol, papers, a small-county night shift
Papers. A Prince William Street courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 in unincorporated Fairmount remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a New Jersey rumor
A levy in Marion Station still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Somerset.
Rights from UMES to Smith Island
Equal protection on the Lower Shore map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A waterman at Tylerton and a student at UMES hire the same Sheriff.
