County offices appearing on ballots include County Commissioner (three seats elected to staggered four-year terms), County Council members (seven seats), Sheriff (four-year term), Clerk, Auditor, Treasurer, Recorder, Assessor, Coroner, and Surveyor. Most county offices are contested in years divisible by four or in midterm election years. Local voters also elect representatives to the Indiana General Assembly; the community is part of an Indiana House district and an Indiana Senate district based on current redistricting following the 2020 Census.
