The Oswego County Legislature has 25 members, elected from equal population districts, reduced from 36 in 1993. The legislators are split between seven committees that meet monthly and also attend a general meeting once per month. The seven standing committees as of December 2019 were Government, Courts and Consumer Affairs; Public Safety; Infrastructure, Facilities and Technology; Economic Development and Planning; Health; Human Services; and Finance and Personnel.<ref>{{cite web |title=2019 Legislative Standing Committees |url=https://www.oswegocounty.com/government/county_legislature/2019_standing_committees.php |website=Oswego County Government |access-date=January 2, 2020}}</ref>

In the 2019 general election, the county GOP won three more seats previously occupied by Democrats, expanding its control of the legislature to 23–2. The two Democratic candidates who were elected ran unopposed, and there was only one other Democrat running for any of the 25 seats. Meanwhile, a proposition that sought to expand legislator terms from two years to four years was rejected, with 65.06 percent of 17,701 total votes countywide going against the proposition.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Reitz |first1=Matthew |title=County term length prop fails, GOP adds to supermajority |url=http://www.oswegocountynewsnow.com/news/county-term-length-prop-fails-gop-adds-to-supermajority/article_6263a1ee-0063-11ea-a07b-bb721552bb6b.html |website=Oswego County News Now |date=November 6, 2019 |access-date=January 2, 2020}}</ref>
