The County Clerk functions as the chief election official throughout Henry County, managing everything from voter registration and poll worker recruitment to ballot preparation, absentee voting, and election administration for all federal, state, county, and township contests affecting local residents.

Beyond the online portal, residents can register by mail using a paper application or visit the Henry County Clerk's Office in person.
