The administrative body of Oklahoma County is the Board of County Commissioners, which was created by the Oklahoma Legislature. Oklahoma County, like all counties in Oklahoma, is divided into three compact districts. One Commissioner is elected from each district for a term of four years. The run-off is held on the 3rd Tuesday of September, and the general is on the 1st Tuesday after the 1st Monday in November. The school board members are elected by the voters residing in that particular school district.
Offices are for four-year terms.
Elections are staggered, and are held annually on the 2nd Tuesday of February.
