Citizens that are selected will have the opportunity to establish boundaries of the county’s four commissioner districts. The board will set and conduct public hearings in each of the four districts once preliminary boundaries have been drawn.

Also, the Charles County Board of License Commissioners, otherwise known as the liquor board, is looking for one representative from District 4 to help review and approve the issuance and renewal of liquor licenses in the county.

Members also adjudicate violations and issue penalties to violators. The board meets on the second Thursday of each month at 10 am. Members serve four-year terms.
