The Board is responsible for, among other things, passing ordinances, adopting the annual budget, and appointing other boards and committees.  All members are elected to four-year terms occurring at the general November election in the presidential election years. The Board members are elected at large on a partisan basis. Elected officers of the Township must be qualified electors and residents of the Township.
