Photo identification is mandatory when voting in person. The town operates under a town council form of government rather than a mayor-council structure. Municipal elections for council members occur in November of odd-numbered years, following Indiana's municipal election cycle. Rather than electing a mayor, the council appoints a president from among its members.

Residents also cast ballots for Tipton County Council, County Commissioner, and constitutional officer positions.
