Sheriff and Tax Collector to be separate offices for Hempstead County in next election
In the 2026 general election, Hempstead County voters will see a new office on their ballots. According to House Bill 1090, which was passed in 2023, the Hempstead County Sheriff’s Office and the Tax Collector’s Office will be two separate positions beginning January 1, 2026. The candidate who wins the 2026 election will take office January 1, 2027. There are no official candidates yet since the filing date for this office doesn’t open until November 3rd (and ends November 11). Stay tuned to SWARK.Today though for more info on this race and all other races in the 2026 election.
