====County supervisors====
Ventura County is administered by five elected Supervisors who each serve four year terms. They appoint the county executive officer who appoints non-elected department administrators who manage county functions. The county seal, that was adopted in 1964, was reviewed in 2022 due to prominent depiction of [[Statues of Junípero Serra (Ventura, California)|Junípero Serra]] that could be hurtful to those who allege that Serra was responsible for [[California mission clash of cultures|the suppression of the culture]] of [[Chumash people]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stoelk |first=Dave |date=January 14, 2022 |title=Ventura County may soon strip controversial missionary from official seal |url=https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/politics/2022/01/14/ventura-county-may-soon-strip-controversial-missionary-from-official-seal |access-date=January 15, 2022 |work=Spectrum News1}}</ref> The seal also had images referring to atomic energy and oil drilling that no longer represented the county industries.<ref>{{cite news |title=St. Junipero Serra could soon be removed from California county seal |publisher=[[Catholic News Agency]] |date=July 23, 2020 |first=Kevin |last=Jones |newspaper=[[Catholic Telegraph]] |url=https://www.thecatholictelegraph.com/st-junipero-serra-could-soon-be-removed-from-california-county-seal/68022 |access-date=July 23, 2020
