Four main divisions comprise the balance of the office: Elections, Business Services, Securities and Dealer Services. </p><p><b>Elections</b>: The Elections Division assists the secretary of state in carrying out the responsibilities assigned as Indiana's chief elections officer. The bipartisan division is composed of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans. The division's administrative responsibilities include overseeing the candidate declaration process, certifying election results, and maintaining campaign finance reports. The secretary of state also serves as chairperson for the Indiana Recount Commission and participates in voter outreach projects aimed at increasing voter participation. The Indiana Election Commission, as opposed to the division, is an independently appointed commission of two Republicans and two Democrats. The commission deals with questions associated with violations of the Indiana election laws, and with the imposition of penalties. </p><p><b>Business Services</b>: The Business Services Division administers all business-related responsibilities for the secretary of state including the chartering of new businesses, the filing of commercial liens, and the issuance of trademarks, notaries public and summonses. </p><p><b>Securities</b>: The Securities Division oversees Indiana's securities industry. The division is charged with protecting Hoosier investors by bringing enforcement actions against companies and individuals selling securities in violation of Indiana's securities laws and by educating Hoosiers about prudent investing. Over the past four years, the division has imposed a record amount in fines and penalties against scam artists preying upon unsuspecting Hoosier investors. </p><p><b>Dealer Services</b>: Dealer Services administers regulations relating to the registration of motorized vehicle dealers, including dealers for automobiles, watercraft, off-road vehicles and automobile salvage. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="List_of_secretaries_of_state">List of secretaries of state</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Secretary_of_State_of_Indiana&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: List of secretaries of state"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r981673959">.mw-parser-output .legend{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .legend-color{display:inline-block;min-width:1.25em;height:1.25em;line-height:1.25;margin:1px 0;text-align:center;border:1px solid black;background-color:transparent;color:black}.mw-parser-output .legend-text{}</style><span class="legend nowrap"><span class="legend-color mw-no-invert" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;background-color:#aacc99; color:black;"> </span> <a href="/wiki/Democratic-Republican_Party" title="Democratic-Republican Party">Democratic-Republican</a></span> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r981673959"><span class="legend nowrap"><span class="legend-color mw-no-invert" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;background-color:#cceeff; color:black;"> </span> <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic</a></span> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r981673959"><span class="legend nowrap"><span class="legend-color mw-no-invert" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;background-color:#ffffcc; color:black;"> </span> <a href="/wiki/Whig_Party_(United_States)" title="Whig Party (United States)">Whig</a></span> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r981673959"><span class="legend nowrap"><span class="legend-color mw-no-invert" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;background-color:#ffb6b6; color:black;"> </span> <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Territorial_secretaries">Territorial secretaries</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Secretary_of_State_of_Indiana&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Territorial secretaries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <tbody><tr> <th>#</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Took office</th> <th>Left office</th> <th>Party</th> <th>Hometown</th> <th>Notes </th></tr> <tr style="background-color:#AACC99"> <td>1 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/John_Gibson_(Indiana)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Gibson (Indiana)">John Gibson</a> </td> <td>July 4, 1800 </td> <td>November 7, 1816 </td> <td>Democratic-Republican </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Knox_County,_Indiana" title="Knox County, Indiana">Knox County, Indiana</a> </td> <td><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Secretaries_of_state">Secretaries of state</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Secretary_of_State_of_Indiana&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Secretaries of state"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <tbody><tr> <th>#</th> <th>Image</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Took office</th> <th>Left office</th> <th>Party</th> <th>Hometown</th> <th>Notes </th></tr> <tr style="background-color:#AACC99"> <td>1 </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Robert_A._New" title="Robert A.
