Bosworth, Missouri Public Records

The Bosworth Police Department (https://www.bosworthpd.org/) and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office (https://www.carrollcountysheriff.gov/) maintain public records related to law enforcement activities, such as incident reports, arrest records, and traffic citations.

Bosworth voters are served by the Carroll County Clerk, who serves as the county's election authority. The Carroll County Clerk's office is located at 1 Courthouse Square, Room 2, Carrollton, MO 64633, phone (660) 542-0615. The office administers all federal, state, county, and school district elections for Carroll County residents, including those in Bosworth. Missouri voters can register online at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/register through the Missouri Secretary of State's GoVoteMissouri portal. The voter registration deadline is the fourth Wednesday prior to any election; Missouri offers same-day registration during the early voting period but not on Election Day itself. Acceptable forms of ID include Missouri driver's license, non-driver license, military ID, passport, or other government-issued photo ID. Since Bosworth is unincorporated with no municipal government, residents do not vote in city elections; instead, they participate in federal, state, county, and school district elections. Bosworth voters elect Carroll County officials including Presiding Commissioner, County Clerk, Sheriff, Assessor, Recorder of Deeds, Prosecuting Attorney, Coroner, and Public Administrator on staggered four-year terms. State legislative representation includes Missouri State Senate District 12 and Missouri House District 2. Bosworth residents can find their assigned polling location by using the Missouri Precinct Finder at https://voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov/portal/ or by contacting the County Clerk. In Carroll County during the November 2024 presidential election, voter turnout was approximately 68%, with roughly 5,200 votes cast out of approximately 7,600 registered voters. On November 3, 2026, Bosworth and Carroll County voters will decide several significant races. Missouri does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026, but voters will elect a new Governor, as Governor Mike Parson is term-limited. The 2026 ballot will include races for Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Treasurer, and State Auditor, as well as all Missouri House of Representatives seats (two-year terms) and potentially a State Senate seat depending on Bosworth's district cycle. County offices on the ballot in 2026 will likely include County Clerk, Recorder of Deeds, and other positions on the standard four-year rotation. Missouri voters can request absentee ballots for specific statutory reasons including absence from the jurisdiction on Election Day, incapacity or confinement due to illness, religious belief or practice, employment as an election authority, incarceration (if still eligible to vote), or participation in the address confidentiality program. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Carroll County Clerk by the second Wednesday prior to the election; voted ballots must be received by 7:00 PM on Election Day. Public election records in Missouri include voter registration lists (available for purchase for election-related purposes), campaign finance reports filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission at https://www.mec.mo.gov/, candidate filing information maintained by the County Clerk and Secretary of State, and detailed precinct-level election results published by the County Clerk and available on the Secretary of State's website at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/.
