| No contested local or district races found for Sharkey County. Every race listed below has one candidate per seat. | |
Also on every Sharkey County ballot: U.S. Senate, your U.S. House district, your Court of Appeals district (where a seat is up) and any statewide questions.
Sharkey County is in Chancery Court District 9 and Circuit Court District 9 for this election. Mississippi redrew its chancery and circuit districts in 2025 (SB 2768 and HB 1544); the judges elected on Nov 3 serve in the new districts starting Jan 1, 2027, so the district numbers may differ from the current ones.
Judicial races are nonpartisan, so no party labels are shown. A judicial race with more than two candidates can go to a runoff on Dec 1 if nobody wins a majority.
Not listed here (gap): county court judge, justice court judge, school board and any special county races. Those candidates qualify with the county circuit clerk, and the Secretary of State does not publish them. Supervisors, sheriffs and other county officers are next elected in 2027.
Your exact sample ballot comes from your circuit clerk; check your registration at Mississippi voter registration lookup (Secretary of State).
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
