How many members are on the Bureau County County Board?

• A. 18
• B. 16
• C. 20
• D. 22

Answer: (A)

This question checks your understanding of how county boards are sized and how that affects representation and decision-making. In Illinois, the number of members on a county board is fixed by statute or the county charter, and each member represents a specific district within the county. Bureau County’s board is composed of eighteen members, a setup chosen to provide broad representation across the county’s communities while keeping the board manageable. With this size, a majority is more than half of the members, which shapes voting and committee structures. This is the established size for Bureau County, though other counties may have different numbers based on their own governing documents.
