Sheriff Election — Tuscaloosa County, Alabama
Tuscaloosa Sheriff · the arena · a former capital hires this desk in 2026 · in Tuscaloosa · Montgomery remains the capital
The 2026 oval in Tuscaloosa, not in Montgomery, not on the Quad
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 Tuscaloosa County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Tuscaloosa hires a Sheriff who still holds 26th Avenue
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. Four district Commissioners and a Probate chair sit — not this oval. A stadium rumor does not hire this badge. Northport is a municipality, not the hall. Montgomery is still the capital. This city was the capital. It is not the capital now.
Circuit Clerk on Greensboro, not City Hall, not Northport as the hall
Absentee Election Manager mailing: 714 Greensboro Avenue, Room 214, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401. The Secretary of State also publishes 2513 7th Street as a physical Absentee door — confirm the live listing. That is the county clerk — not Tuscaloosa City Hall, not Northport City Hall, not a campus office as a substitute. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.alabama.gov and myinfo.alabamavotes.gov.
Sample ballot in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, not the University as this oval
Do not take names from a stadium rumor, a Montgomery State House postcard, or a Northport flyer as a substitute for this oval.

If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring — river remainder patrol and one jail this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Tuscaloosa County, Alabama — unincorporated patrol across the remainder, warrants, civil process, courthouse security on Greensboro, and the jail at 1600 26th Avenue. You are not hiring Tuscaloosa Police. You are not hiring University Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 26th Avenue as this jailer, Tuscaloosa as the seat, Montgomery as the capital, and Northport as a municipality not the hall.
Remedy when a writ misses Cottondale
A bad service or a paper that missed Cottondale or Coker — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Four Commissioners and a Probate chair are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Montgomery. Not a stadium as this oval.
Relief when the Black Warrior comes up
A rise on the Black Warrior, a wreck on I-20/59, a night road outside Vance — this county’s mutual aid first. Jefferson is a different count. Hale is a different count. Tuscaloosa city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Greensboro courtroom, a night shift toward Vance
Papers. A Greensboro courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated I-20/59 frontage remains this badge. The county jail remains this badge.
Due process does not wait for a stadium rumor
A levy in unincorporated Tuscaloosa still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a stadium or the old Capitol Park.
Rights from Northport’s remainder to Brookwood
Equal protection on the river map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Tuscaloosa and a family in the Vance remainder hire the same Sheriff.
