Davisville, Missouri Public Records

The Crawford County Sheriff's Office (https://www.crawfordcountymo.gov/sheriff) is responsible for law enforcement in Davisville and the surrounding region. Public records from the Sheriff's Office, such as incident reports and arrest logs, can provide insights into the town's public safety and community security.

Davisville residents' election and voter registration services are managed by the Crawford County Clerk's office, which serves as the election authority for the county. The Crawford County Clerk is located at 302 Main Street, Steelville, MO 65565, and can be reached at (573) 775-2376. The Clerk's office handles all aspects of elections, including voter registration, absentee voting, polling place assignments, candidate filings, and election night results. Missouri residents can register to vote online through the Missouri Secretary of State's website at https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/register, or by submitting a paper voter registration form available at the County Clerk's office, public libraries, and motor vehicle offices. To register, applicants must be U.S. citizens, Missouri residents, at least 17.5 years old (to vote at 18), and not currently serving a sentence or on probation/parole for a felony conviction. Voter registration must be completed at least 28 days before an election (the fourth Wednesday prior to Election Day). Acceptable forms of ID include a Missouri driver's license, non-driver ID, military ID, passport, or other government-issued photo ID. Because Davisville is unincorporated and has no city government, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Davisville residents participate in Crawford County elections for county officials (county commissioners, sheriff, assessor, collector, clerk, recorder, coroner, and prosecuting attorney), Missouri state legislative elections for the State House and State Senate districts that cover Crawford County, statewide offices such as Governor and other constitutional officers, and federal elections for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives (Missouri's 8th Congressional District includes Crawford County). To find their assigned polling place, Davisville voters can use the online polling place lookup tool on the Missouri Secretary of State's website at https://voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov/portal/ or contact the Crawford County Clerk. Missouri makes several categories of election records publicly accessible under state law. Voter registration lists are available for purchase for political purposes, and precinct-level election results are posted by the County Clerk and Secretary of State after each election. Campaign finance reports for candidates and committees are filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission and searchable at https://mec.mo.gov/. Candidate filings and local ballot measures are also public and available from the County Clerk. In the November 2024 presidential election, Crawford County saw voter turnout typical of rural Missouri counties, with approximately 60-65% of registered voters casting ballots, favoring Republican candidates as is common in this region. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Davisville and Crawford County voters will decide several significant races. While Missouri does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026, voters will elect members of the Missouri House of Representatives (all 163 seats, serving two-year terms) and half of the Missouri State Senate (serving four-year staggered terms). County offices to be decided in 2026 may include some Crawford County positions depending on the term cycle, such as sheriff, clerk, and other constitutional officers who serve four-year terms. Specific local races, ballot measures, and school board positions will be determined as candidate filing periods close in 2026. Missouri allows absentee voting for voters who will be absent from their jurisdiction on Election Day, are incapacitated or confined due to illness or disability, have religious beliefs or practices, are employed as an election authority, or are incarcerated but otherwise eligible. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted to the Crawford County Clerk starting 90 days before an election, and ballots must be received by 7:00 PM on Election Day to be counted. Missouri also offers in-person early voting (called "no-excuse absentee voting") beginning the third Tuesday prior to Election Day at designated locations announced by the County Clerk.
