The three Buhl Highway District Board members are elected officials whose duties, powers,  and election process are outlined in Idaho Code, Title 40, Chapter 13. Each Commissioner is elected through a district-wide election and resides in one of the three Buhl Highway Sub-Districts. The Commissioner elections are held in conjunction with the general election on the third Tuesday of May in odd-numbered years.

The Board of Commissioners meets monthly on the second Monday and holds additional Special Meetings as required. They also represent the District in intergovernmental forums, public meetings, and other gatherings as needed.
