Sheriff Election — Talladega County, Alabama
Talladega Sheriff · the arena · a Coosa border county hires this desk in 2026 · in Talladega · Montgomery remains the capital
The 2026 oval in Talladega, not in Anniston, not at the SuperSpeedway
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 Talladega County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Talladega hires a Sheriff who still holds Renfroe Road
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. An Administrator is appointed — not this oval. An Anniston rumor does not hire this badge. Sylacauga is a court campus, not a second county. Montgomery is still the capital.
Circuit Clerk on East Street, not City Hall, not Sylacauga as a second county
Absentee Election Manager: 148 East Street N., Talladega, AL 35160. That is the Judicial Building — not Talladega City Hall, not Sylacauga City Hall, not a Calhoun clerk as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Talladega County, Alabama, not Calhoun County
Do not take names from an Anniston rumor, a SuperSpeedway postcard, or a Sylacauga flyer as a substitute for this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Alabama Secretary of State
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Talladega County, Alabama, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — Coosa remainder patrol and one jail this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Talladega County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across the remainder, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on two campuses, and the jail at 150 East Renfroe Road. You are not hiring Talladega Police. You are not hiring Sylacauga Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Renfroe Road as this jailer, Talladega as the seat, Montgomery as the capital, and Sylacauga as a campus not a second county.
Remedy when a writ misses Munford
A bad service or a paper that missed Munford or Winterboro — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Commissioners are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Anniston. Not a racetrack as this oval.
Relief when I-20 ices at Lincoln
Ice on I-20, a wreck toward Childersburg, a night road outside Munford — this county’s mutual aid first. Calhoun is a different count. Clay is a different count. Talladega city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, two court campuses, a night shift toward Childersburg
Papers. An East Street courtroom and a Norton Avenue courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-20 frontage remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a speedway rumor
A levy in unincorporated Talladega still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a racetrack.
Rights from Lincoln to Sylacauga
Equal protection on the two-campus map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Talladega and a family in the Sylacauga remainder hire the same Sheriff.
