The board consists of three commissioners elected in partisan, even-year elections. They serve four-year terms. Newly elected members take office on the first Monday in December, following the election. A chairman is selected by the board from among its members. The board meets on the first Monday of each month in the Madison County Courthouse, or at A-B Tech.
All meetings are open to the public, and the minutes of meetings are open to public inspection.
