As an unincorporated community within Union Township, Neelyton has no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Instead, local governance falls to the Union Township Board of Supervisors, whose members are elected in odd-numbered years, most recently in November 2023, with the next round scheduled for November 2027. These township races appear alongside school board contests for the Southern Huntingdon County School District. Beyond township matters, voters here cast ballots for county positions like commissioners, sheriff, and coroner, plus state legislative seats in Pennsylvania House District 75 and Pennsylvania Senate District 30. Statewide offices including Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Auditor General, and Treasurer appear when those terms expire, and federal races include U.S. House of Representatives District 13, U.S. Senate, and President.

County-level offices including commissioner seats and various row offices will also be on the ballot. No U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania is up in 2026; that race won't occur until 2028.
