Dadeville, Missouri Public Records

Law enforcement records for Dadeville, Missouri, are maintained by the Dade County Sheriff's Office (https://www.dadecountymo.org/sheriffs_office.html). This agency is responsible for handling local law enforcement duties, including responding to emergency calls, conducting investigations, and maintaining records related to arrests, incident reports, and traffic citations.

Dadeville voters are served by the Dade County Clerk, who functions as the county's election authority. The Dade County Clerk's office is located at 300 West Water Street, Greenfield, MO 65661, and can be reached at (417) 637-2271. The Clerk administers all aspects of voter registration, candidate filing, ballot preparation, polling place operations, absentee voting, and election results certification for Dadeville and all of Dade County. Missouri residents can register to vote online at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri, the state's official voter portal managed by the Missouri Secretary of State. Voters must be U.S. citizens, Missouri residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not serving a sentence or on probation or parole for a felony conviction. The registration deadline is the fourth Wednesday prior to any election. Voters should provide a Missouri driver's license or state ID number; if unavailable, the last four digits of a Social Security number. Because Dadeville is unincorporated, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Voters participate in federal, state, and county elections. County offices such as County Commissioners, Sheriff, Assessor, Clerk, Recorder, Treasurer, and Prosecuting Attorney appear on ballots in various election cycles. In the November 3, 2026 general election, Missouri voters, including those in Dadeville, will decide several important races. Missouri does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026; the next Missouri Senate race is in 2028. However, all of Missouri's eight U.S. House seats will be on the ballot in 2026, and Dadeville is located in Missouri's 7th Congressional District. Additionally, the 2026 ballot will likely include races for Missouri Governor (current term expires in January 2025, so the governorship is not up in 2026 but could involve other statewide offices depending on the cycle), state legislative seats in the Missouri House of Representatives and Missouri Senate (depending on district), and various county positions. Voters should check with the Dade County Clerk or the Missouri Secretary of State's election calendar for specifics. In the November 2024 presidential election, Dade County saw voter turnout consistent with past cycles, with the county favoring Republican candidates by wide margins, as is typical in rural Missouri counties.
