County Commissioners

The Pennsylvania County Code (1955 Act 130) governs most counties in the Commonwealth. In it, the County Code lists the officers of the county governed by the act (Article IV). Of particular note are the County Commissioners (Article V). Three county commissioners shall be elected in each county in the year one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five, and every fourth year thereafter (1955, 1959, ..., 2023, 2027, 2031, 2035). In the election of commissioners, each qualified elector shall vote for no more than two persons. The three persons having the highest number of votes shall be elected.
