This November 8, voters in Bristol County will be able to choose a sheriff – an opportunity that happens only every six years.
The Bristol County sheriff has a very important job - to oversee county jails, where over 1,000 people can be incarcerated every day and will return to their communities in no more than 2.5 years. The decisions that sheriffs make every day about conditions and programming have a huge impact on the people in their custody and the community beyond the jail walls.
Learn about the candidates and remember to vote on November 8. Early voting runs from October 22 to November 4.
Register to vote here by October 29.
