Previously called the Board of County Commissioners, the panel became the Board of County Councilors Jan. 1, 2015, under a home rule charter approved by voters in November 2014. The three-member council expanded Jan. 1, 2016, to five members who are elected at the district level. Members adopted the name Clark County Council in January 2018.

At their first meeting of the year, councilors vote to select a council chair and vice chair for the year.
