The Board of Commissioners is the governing authority of Walker County. There are four district commissioners and an at-large chairperson. Along with presiding over meetings, the chairperson serves as the CEO of the county and administers the day-to-day operations of the county.
The Board meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at Courthouse Annex IV, 201 S Duke Street in LaFayette. Click here to see the latest meeting agenda. The calendar is adjusted due to holidays.
District 1 & 2 Commissioners served an initial two-year term, from 2021-2022. After 2022, all commissioner seats became four-year terms. This means every two years, two of the district commissioner positions are on the ballot. In 2024, District 3 & 4 Commissioners and the Chairperson were on the ballot. Districts 1 & 2 will be on the ballot in 2026.
