Local, State and Federal
Elected Officials
Canton is a Charter Township government where the elected Supervisor, Clerk, and Treasurer are also full-time administrators. The Legislative body is the Board of Trustees, which includes the three full-time elected administrators and four part-time Trustees. Partisan elections are held every fourth year, coinciding with presidential election years.
The Board of Trustees meets each Tuesday at 7:p.m. in regular session or study session. All meetings are open to the public. Minutes of all public meetings are available on-line or upon request.
