Mississippi's counties are governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors, with each supervisor elected from one of five geographic districts. The board combines legislative and executive functions — setting policy, levying taxes, and overseeing roads, law enforcement funding, and county administration — much like the standard commission form used elsewhere, just organized by fixed five-member districts. A resident wanting a public meeting or records request would generally go to their district supervisor or the full Board of Supervisors' office.
