Direct Numbers by Division

The Secretary of State oversees business registrations, elections, securities regulation, and vehicle dealer licensing.2Indiana Secretary of State. About the Office Each division has its own line staffed by people who work that subject area daily.

The Elections Division handles voter registration, candidate filings, and campaign finance reports. The Securities Division covers investment adviser registrations and financial fraud complaints.

Hours for Each Division
