Modoc, Indiana Public Records

An Indiana driver's license number, state ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number is required. Registration is also available in person at the Randolph County Clerk's office, at Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles branches, or through mail-in forms. As an unincorporated community, Modoc has no municipal government and therefore holds no elections for mayor or town council. Residents participate in county, state, and federal elections instead. Randolph County offices including County Commissioner, County Council, Sheriff, Clerk, Auditor, Treasurer, Recorder, Assessor, Surveyor, and Coroner appear on ballots in different cycles, with most countywide positions contested during presidential or midterm election years. State legislative races for Indiana House of Representatives and Indiana State Senate districts that include Randolph County also appear regularly. Voters can find their assigned polling location through the Indiana Voter Portal at www.indianavoters. gov by entering their name and date of birth or address. Polling places for Greene Township, where the community is situated, are assigned by precinct boundaries and typically use schools, community buildings, or other public facilities. Photo identification is required to vote in person under Indiana law. Acceptable forms include Indiana driver's licenses, state-issued ID cards, military IDs, or U.S. Passports with current or recently expired dates within statutory limits. Indiana maintains extensive public access to election records. Voter registration lists are available to candidates and political parties under rules governed by Indiana Code 3-7-26.3. Precinct-level results are published by the Randolph County Clerk and the Indiana Secretary of State at www. gov/sos/elections. Campaign finance reports for county candidates are filed with the County Election Board and available for public inspection. State legislative and statewide candidate reports are filed with and searchable through the Indiana Election Division's campaign finance database. The county historically leans Republican in most contests, though local races can prove competitive. Indiana will hold elections for all nine U.S. House seats, and one of Indiana's Senate seats (currently held by Todd Young or Mike Braun depending on the seat) may appear on the ballot depending on the six-year rotation. State legislative races for Indiana House Districts and Indiana State Senate seats in even-numbered districts will be contested. Randolph County will likely have races for County Commissioner, County Council seats, and possibly other county offices depending on term schedules.
