Who are my county commissioners?

North Carolina county commissioners — all 100 counties, free, by address, ZIP, or a tap on the map.

Every North Carolina county is run by an elected board of commissioners. The board passes the county's ordinances, adopts its budget and sets its property tax rate; most boards have five or seven members. The lookup finds your county and lists who won every seat on its board at the most recent election.

What the lookup shows

Select any point in North Carolina and the county card names the county, then lists every seat on its board of commissioners, with the person who won each one and the date of that election.

It lists every seat in the county rather than only yours, because no publisher draws the commissioner districts. Many boards are elected by the whole county, and a seat named for a district may still be on every voter's ballot, so the seat names are the ones on the ballot and do not say who can vote for them.

Where the names come from, and what they are not

The North Carolina State Board of Elections publishes the results of every general election, contest by contest, and a list of every contest on the ballot with the length of its term. Commissioners serve two- or four-year terms, county by county, so the 2022 and 2024 elections between them name a winner for almost every seat. The list is re-read every week, and a new election's winners are added on the first Monday in December, when they take office.

A winner is not always the person in the seat today. A board fills a vacancy by appointment, not an election, so someone appointed since does not appear in any result and the person who won may still show here. Where the 2026 ballot shows a seat has changed hands, the seat names nobody and says why. Your county's own website is the current word.

Four counties elect their boards by limited voting, where each voter picks fewer candidates than there are seats, so the results do not say how many seats a contest filled. For Beaufort, Martin and Perquimans that number comes from the county's own board page; Tyrrell's could not be read, so its board names nobody yet.

Where the boundaries come from

The county lines come from the U.S. Census Bureau. The commissioner district lines are not on the map: state law keeps each county's district lines as a written description in the county clerk's office, and no state agency publishes them as a map. Every source is on the sources & data layers page.

Not for legal or official use. Boundary and election data come from public sources that explicitly disclaim legal precision. Confirm officeholders with your county before relying on them for anything official.

Every board of commissioners, county by county

Every North Carolina county whose roster this project has: 100 counties, 584 people, each name the winner of that seat's most recent election in the North Carolina State Board of Elections' results, dated to it.
