Creighton, Missouri, voters are served by the Henry County Clerk's Office, which functions as the county's election authority. The Henry County Clerk is located at 100 West Franklin Street, Suite 1, Clinton, MO 64735, and can be reached at (660) 885-7230.

Missouri residents, including those in Creighton, can register to vote online through the Missouri Secretary of State's website at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/register. To register, applicants must be U.S. citizens, Missouri residents, at least 17.5 years old (to vote at 18), and provide a valid Missouri driver's license or state ID number or the last four digits of a Social Security number. The voter registration deadline is the fourth Wednesday prior to any election (typically 27 days before Election Day). Missouri does not have automatic voter registration; individuals must proactively register or update their address when moving. Because Creighton is an unincorporated community with no municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections; local governance is provided by Henry County elected officials and special districts. Residents vote in county-level elections for positions such as County Commissioners (Presiding and Associate Commissioners elected to four-year terms), Sheriff, Assessor, Collector, Recorder of Deeds, Prosecuting Attorney, Coroner, and other countywide offices. Creighton voters also participate in state legislative elections for Missouri House of Representatives and Missouri State Senate districts, as well as federal elections for U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and President. To find their assigned polling place, Creighton residents can use the Missouri Secretary of State's Polling Place Lookup tool at https://voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov/PRD/VoterOutreach/VOSearch.aspx or contact the Henry County Clerk. Missouri law makes several categories of election records publicly accessible: voter registration lists (available for purchase or inspection under RSMo 115.157), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at https://mec.mo.gov/), candidate filings and declarations, and certified election results by precinct (posted by the County Clerk and Secretary of State). In the November 2024 presidential election, Henry County reported a voter turnout of approximately 72-75%, with roughly 5,800-6,000 ballots cast out of approximately 8,000 registered voters; the county voted overwhelmingly Republican, consistent with its historical trend. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Creighton and Henry County voters will decide several important races. Missouri will hold elections for all 163 seats in the Missouri House of Representatives (two-year terms) and half of the Missouri State Senate seats (four-year staggered terms). While the U.S. Senate Class III seat is not up in 2026 (Missouri's seats are Class I and Class III, with Class I next up in 2024 and Class III in 2028), voters will elect all eight Missouri seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Henry County voters will also elect county-level officials whose terms expire in 2026, which may include Sheriff, County Commissioners, Assessor, Collector, Recorder, Coroner, or other offices depending on term schedules. Specific local ballot measures and special district elections (such as school boards or fire districts) will be determined closer to the election date. Missouri allows absentee voting both by mail and in person. Registered voters can request an absentee ballot by submitting an application (form available at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/howtovote) to the Henry County Clerk's Office. Applications must be received by the second Wednesday before the election for mail ballots. Acceptable reasons for absentee voting include absence from the county on Election Day, incapacity or confinement due to illness or disability, religious belief or practice, employment as an election authority worker, incarceration (if still eligible to vote), or participation in the address confidentiality program. In-person absentee voting (no-excuse early voting) is available for any registered voter starting the second Tuesday before the election at the County Clerk's office. Voters requesting mail ballots must provide a copy of a photo ID unless they qualify for an exemption.
