Biennial Elections for the Board of Commissioners

The Downtown Manchester Board of Commissioners are the governing body of the Distirct. The Commissioners are downtown property owners and business lessees who volunteer their time to oversee the operations of the District.

Commissioners are elected for a two-year term during our Biennial Elections which are held every other May. Any property owner or business lessee is eligible to serve as a Commissioner.

The Board is comprised of 5 Property Owners, 2 Business Lessees, 1 Alternate Commissioner and 3 Ex-Officio Members: The Town of Manchester's Director of Planning & Development, a representative from the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and a representative of the downtown faith communities.

For information about the nominating process, contact the Downtown Manager at dmssd@manchesterct.gov.  

Ballots will be distributed to all property owners and business lessees in advance of the election meeting.
