Passaic County is governed by a seven-member board of Chosen Freeholders.
Each Freeholder is elected at-large for a three-year term.
The Board is headed by a Freeholder-Director, who is selected for a one-year term
at the Board's annual reorganization meeting at the first meeting of the year in January.
Under Passaic County's commission form of government, Freeholders discharge
both executive and legislative responsibilities.
