McDuffie County Board of Commissioners
The Board of Commissioners is responsible for establishing county policies and for setting the county budget. It is the governing authority in all counties except those that are consolidated.
These county governing authorities are created by local act of the General Assembly, as provided for in the Georgia Constitution.
The Board of Commissioners is made up of five members, including one Chair and one Vice Chair, each living in a specific district and elected by district to serve four-year terms. The Commission Chair is at large and elected by the entire county.
