===Commissioners=== Like all Minnesota counties, Hennepin is governed by an elected and [[Non-partisan democracy|nonpartisan]] board of commissioners. In Minnesota, county commissions usually have five members, but Hennepin, [[Ramsey County, Minnesota|Ramsey]], [[Dakota County, Minnesota|Dakota]], [[Anoka County, Minnesota|Anoka]] and [[St. Louis County, Minnesota|St. Louis]] counties have seven members. Each commissioner represents a district of approximately equal population. In Hennepin County, the commission appoints the [[medical examiner]], the county [[auditor]]-[[treasurer]], and the [[recorder of deeds#United States: recorders of deeds|county recorder]]. The [[sheriff]] and county attorney are also elected on a nonpartisan ticket. The county government's headquarters are in [[downtown]] [[Minneapolis]] in the [[Hennepin County Government Center]]. The county oversees the [[Hennepin County Library]] system (which merged with the [[Minneapolis Public Library]] system in 2008) and [[Hennepin County Medical Center]]. The county commission also elects a [[chairperson|chair]] who presides at meetings. {| class="wikitable sortable" |- ! District ! Commissioner ! In office<br />since !
