The Brunswick Police Department (https://www.brunswickcity.com/police-department) is the primary law enforcement agency serving the city of Brunswick, Missouri. Public records related to law enforcement, such as police reports and incident logs, can be requested directly from the department. The Chariton County Sheriff's Office (https://www.charitonco.com/sheriff.html) also maintains records for the county.

Brunswick voters are served by the Chariton County Clerk's Office, which administers elections for all of Chariton County from the Chariton County Courthouse, 1416 Jackson Street, Keytesville, MO 65261, phone (660) 288-3602. Missouri residents can register to vote online at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/register, by mail, or in person at the County Clerk's office. Registration must be completed by the fourth Wednesday before any election. Voters must provide a Missouri driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Missouri law requires photo ID to vote; acceptable forms include a Missouri driver's license, non-driver license, military ID, or passport. Brunswick holds municipal elections for mayor and city council positions; these typically occur in April of odd-numbered years as prescribed by Missouri law for municipal elections. The next Brunswick city elections would be in April 2025 or 2027 depending on the cycle; residents should contact Brunswick City Hall at (660) 548-3333 for specific candidate filing information and local ballot measures. Chariton County voters participate in state and federal elections including presidential elections every four years, U.S. Senate elections (Missouri's Senate seats are up in different cycle years), U.S. House elections every two years for Missouri's congressional districts, Missouri Governor elections every four years, state legislative races for the Missouri House and Senate, and county offices including Sheriff, Assessor, Clerk, and others. To find their assigned polling place, Brunswick residents can use the Missouri polling place lookup tool at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/localelectionauthority or contact the County Clerk. In the November 2024 presidential election, Chariton County recorded voter turnout consistent with rural Missouri patterns, with several hundred ballots cast (exact figures available from the County Clerk). Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, Brunswick and Chariton County voters will decide several important races: the full U.S. House of Representatives (all Missouri congressional seats), Missouri state legislature seats including the State House districts that cover Chariton County, and potentially county-level offices depending on the election cycle. Missouri does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 (next in 2028), and the Governor's race is in 2024, not 2026. Voters may also see state constitutional amendments and local ballot issues. Missouri election records that are public include voter registration lists (with some protected information), campaign finance reports through the Missouri Ethics Commission at https://mec.mo.gov/, candidate filing information, and precinct-level election results published by the Secretary of State at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/. To request an absentee ballot in Missouri, voters must submit an application to the County Clerk by the second Wednesday before the election for mail ballots or vote in person during the early absentee period. Missouri offers excuse-required absentee voting; eligible reasons include absence from the county 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 certified participation in an address confidentiality program.
