Dane County Board of Supervisors Election

Election Date:April 6, 2027Register by:March 16, 2027

The Dane County Board of Supervisors election on April 6, 2027, will determine the composition of the county's legislative body responsible for setting policy, approving the budget, and overseeing county services. Supervisors are elected from single-member districts to two-year terms, with all 37 seats up for election in even-numbered years; however, 2027 is an odd-year election, so only a subset of seats—likely those vacated or in special circumstances—are contested.
