Watauga Board of Commissioners

A measure on the ballot in 2024 included a mixture of district and at-large seats. Voters overwhelmingly approved it. But the legislature passed a bill keeping the measure from taking effect until 2034.

Currently, commissioners live in assigned districts but are elected at large, meaning Watauga voters can choose their commissioners whether they live in the district or not. This year, commissioners will be chosen only by residents in those individual districts under a bill approved last year.
