Haywood County has operated under the "County Manager" form of government since 1991. This means they have hired a professionally-trained county manager to oversee the day-to-day functioning of the county and to help gather information to make decisions on policy and budget issues. A five-member Board of Commissioners is elected by the people in a partisan election in November of even-numbered years. Beginning with the 1998 election, commission members will serve four-year staggered terms. This means the three candidates receiving the most votes in the November 1998 election will serve four-year terms; the other two members will serve two-year terms. Thereafter, elections for Board of Commissioners will be held every two years and members will serve four-year terms
