Daventry District Council is composed of 38 Councillors, each of whom is chosen to represent a defined Ward by its electors. Elections are by thirds, which means that one third of the seats are subject to re-election in each of three successive years, and County Council elections are held every fourth year. A Councillor's term of office is therefore four years, but Councillors can, of course, decide to submit themselves for re-election and continue to serve longer.

The Corporate Board is comprised of four Directors.  The four Directors take the position of Head of Paid Service/Managing Director on a rotating basis. This year the Managing Director is Simon Bovey, the three Executive Directors are Judy Gregory, Paul Hammond and Ian Vincent.  The Council's services are managed on a day to day basis by six Corporate Managers.
