Commissioners serve two-year terms and represent districts with roughly the same population.
This year, two additional county commissioners will be added to the commission due to redrawing districts across the state. While 19 commissioners are currently serving, a total of 21 commissioners will appear on the ballot.
The role of commissioners varies from county to county. In Kent County, commissioners serve as representatives at the local level, where they listen to constituents’ concerns and represent residents at county committee meetings and Board of Commissioners meetings.
