Ellettsville Town, Indiana Public Records

Indiana requires an Indiana driver's license number, state ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. First-time voters who register by mail may need to show identification at the polls. The same portal allows voters to update their registration, check their status, view sample ballots, and locate their polling place. Acceptable identification includes a current Indiana driver's license, Indiana state ID card, U.S. Passport, military ID, or Indiana student ID from a state college or university, all must display a photo, name, and expiration date, or be current if no expiration date appears. As an incorporated town, Ellettsville operates under a five-member Town Council elected to four-year staggered terms. Municipal elections take place in November of odd-numbered years like 2023 and 2027. The next Town Council election is scheduled for November 4, 2027. Three council seats typically appear on the ballot in one cycle, with two seats in the next. The town doesn't elect a mayor directly; instead, the Town Council President serves as presiding officer. Candidate information, local ballot questions, and results are available through the Monroe County Clerk and posted at Town Hall. Finding your assigned polling place is straightforward through the Indiana Voters Portal at indianavoters. gov by entering your address, or by contacting Monroe County Clerk directly. Precinct boundaries determine assignments, with residents voting at locations within or near town such as Edgewood High School or the Ellettsville Fire Station. Indiana makes certain election records publicly available, including voter registration lists (available for purchase for election purposes), campaign finance reports filed with Monroe County Clerk for local candidates and with the Indiana Election Division for state candidates (searchable at campaignfinance. gov), candidate declarations and filings, and official precinct-by-precinct results. Indiana has no U.S. Senate seat up that year since both senators were elected in 2022 and 2024. At the Monroe County level, races will include County Commissioners, County Council members, and various constitutional offices depending on term schedules. Local school board positions and any Town Council seats that come up on even-year cycles may also appear. Absentee and mail-in voting in Indiana is available to voters meeting specific criteria: being 65 or older, being unable to vote due to disability or illness, working as a precinct election officer, being scheduled to work during all hours polls are open, or being absent from the county on election day. Absentee ballot applications are available through the Monroe County Clerk or at indianavoters. gov. Indiana doesn't offer universal mail-in voting; most voters cast ballots in person either on Election Day or during early voting periods at Monroe County Clerk's office and designated satellite locations.
