Government — North Liberty
North Liberty is governed as an Indiana town: a five-member town council elected at large, whose president is the town executive, and a separately elected clerk-treasurer, seated at Town Hall, 300 South Main Street, meeting on the first Monday of each month. Around the town stand the governments that share its ground — Liberty Township, the Liberty–Greene Fire Protection Territory, St. Joseph County, and the John Glenn School Corporation. This section digs each seat that touches the town to its current holder as of November 2026, prints the November 2026 election as what the reached record makes it — candidates named, results unreached, nothing declared — and banks every seat the record does not settle as a named gap with the source that would settle it.
