County Government

Summary of Position

Support for reform of county government in Oklahoma

The League of Women Voters of Oklahoma (LWVOK) believes that changes are needed in the operation and management of county government in Oklahoma, to achieve a government that is more efficient, modern and accountable to the people.

The LWVOK believes that, under the commission form of county government, commissioners should serve as policy makers concerned with the entire county, not individual districts. Commissioners should be elected at-large from districts in which they reside, with a county manager hired to carry out administrative responsibilities.
