County government in Nebraska is organized in one of two models:
- Township counties: the county is subdivided into organized townships and governed by a 7-member board of supervisors. This is the form used by 27 counties.
- Commissioner counties: the county is governed by a 3-, 5- or 7-member board of commissioners, but is not subdivided into organized townships. This is the form used by 66 counties.
Elected county officials
