DUTIES OF COUNTY ELECTED OFFICIALS
By Oklahoma law, there are nine county offices where the officials responsible
for the Offices are elected by the eligible voters within the county. Each
elected official serves a four year term in office. These elected officials
are:
Three County Commissioners (
Commissioner 1,
Commissioner 2,
Commissioner 3)
County Clerk
Court Clerk
Assessor
Treasurer
Sheriff
Every County has three County Commissioners' districts in Oklahoma. The
districts are approximately equal in population and numbered as district one,
two and three. A County Commissioner is elected by the voters within the
district he represents. The County Clerk, Court Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer
and Sheriff are all elected by the voters within the whole County. The
District Attorney is elected by voters from one or more counties within a
district. Statutory law established the county or counties comprising a
district.

The three elected County Commissioners serve on the Board of County
Commissioners. This Board is the chief administrative body for the county.
The Board elects a Chairman from among its members.
Royce Bartee
is Chairman
for Marshall County.
