...no. Of course I gather that some US states also elect coroners as well, which is remarkable.

The weirdest elected office in the US has to be that in Michigan, some counties have elected Drain Commissioners (under a partisan ballot as well), who manage the county's sewer system.

Isn't there a random town in Vermont that elects its dogcatcher?

Yes, but only if it's a nonpartisan election.

Elections are always partisan.
