Board of Mayor and Aldermen Aldermen are elected to four-year terms that are staggered so that two Aldermen run every two years. The Mayor is elected separately by popular vote (not elected by the Board or the Commission) and is elected to a two-year term. Board members serve without compensation. They must be citizens of the State of Tennessee, qualified voters, and residents of the town for at least one year. Jonesborough was created by private act by the State Legislature, and changes in terms of service, etc. must also be approved by amendments through the Legislature. Elections are held on the General Election date at the first of November. Board members serve in a voluntary capacity and for the most part do not have regular office hours at Town Hall. Appointments can be scheduled by calling the Executive Assistant at Town Hall (753-1031). Click here to view the current Jonesborough Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
