The Town of Candor has a progressive government that offers a wide variety of excellent services to our citizens. The Town operates under the Mayor-Commissioner form of government. Under this form of government, the Mayor and Board of Commissioners are responsible for setting policy for the Town. The Mayor and Board of Commissioners hire a Town Clerk who is responsible for implementing Board policy and managing the day to day operations of the Town.

Candor elections are held every four years for the Mayor and Commissioners with the Commissioners elected to staggered four year terms. These elections are non-partisan and are held at-large rather than by district. The Board of Commissioners meets the first Monday after the fifth of every month at the Town Meeting Room. The Town also has a Planning and Zoning Board which meets on an as needed basis. The Board of Commissioners also serves as the Board of Adjustments.
