Plainfield Town, Indiana Public Records

First-time voters who register by mail may face identification requirements when casting their ballot. The town conducts municipal elections for Town Council positions under a seven-member structure: six members represent individual districts while one serves at-large, and residents separately elect a Clerk-Treasurer. Municipal elections in Indiana follow an odd-year cycle (2023, 2027, etc.), Residents can locate their assigned polling place through the Indiana Voter Portal at indianavoters. gov by entering their name and date of birth or address to view registration status, polling location, sample ballots, and current elected officials. Indiana Code 3-11-8 defines which election records are publicly accessible: voter registration lists can be purchased by political parties and candidates; campaign finance reports appear in the searchable Indiana Campaign Finance database; candidate filings and declarations remain public through the Hendricks County Clerk and Secretary of State; and precinct-level results are published following certification. Indiana does not have a U.S. Senate race in 2026 (next in 2028) and the Governor's race is 2028 as well. Indiana permits absentee voting by mail for voters meeting specific qualifications including age 65+, absence from county on election day, disability, work schedule conflicts, scheduled surgery, caring for an individual, or serving as an election official; applications must reach the Hendricks County Clerk by mail no later than 12 days before the election (October 22, 2026) or in-person up to the day before (November 2, 2026). Early in-person voting opens at the Hendricks County Government Center and satellite locations beginning 28 days before the election through noon on November 2, 2026.
