Sheriff Election — Talbot County, Maryland

The 2026 oval on the Choptank
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 Talbot County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Easton hires a Mid-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 Council members sit on a charter map with a County Manager — not this oval. Class II U.S. Senate is not a 2026 Maryland race. A Pennsylvania rumor does not hire this badge. Easton, Pennsylvania, is a different state.
Board of Elections sits on Bay Street
215 Bay Street, Suite 7, Easton, MD 21601 (mail: P.O. Box 353). Not 28640 Mary's Court. Not 115 West Dover Street. Not St. Michaels. Not Easton, Pennsylvania. 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 Easton, not St. Michaels
Do not take names from a skipjack rumor or a Pennsylvania postcard.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Maryland SBE
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Talbot County Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Mary's Court patrol, not a Dover Street Warden
You are hiring the Sheriff of Talbot County, Maryland — primary patrol, warrants, civil process, Circuit Court security. You are not hiring Easton Police. You are not hiring St. Michaels Police. You are not hiring the Director of the Department of Corrections as this oval. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 115 West Dover as not this patrol desk.
Remedy when a writ misses Tilghman Island
A bad service or a paper that missed Cordova — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Council members are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Easton, Pennsylvania.
Relief when the Choptank comes up at Oxford
A Choptank flood, ice on U.S. 50, a closure at Tilghman — this county’s mutual aid first. Queen Anne's Bay Bridge is a different count. Dorchester’s Cambridge is a different count.
Service — patrol, papers, a small-county night shift
Papers. A Washington Street courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on unincorporated Tilghman Island remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a Pennsylvania rumor
A levy in Trappe still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a different Easton.
Rights from Cordova to Tilghman
Equal protection on the Mid-Shore map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A waterman at Tilghman and a worker in Easton hire the same Sheriff.
