Chenango County has a Board of Supervisors that consists of 23 Town/City elected officials, serving as representatives at the County level. The term for each Supervisor is based on the term set by each particular Town. A Supervisor holds office for either two or four years.

In 21st-century United States politics, Chenango County is considered to be a Republican-leaning county, where the majority of voters elect national Republican candidates. In 2004, Republican George Bush won by an 11% margin over Democrat John Kerry. For state and congressional offices, voters sometimes elect Democratic candidates. In 2006 both [[Eliot Spitzer]] and [[Hillary Clinton]] carried it, winning 57% and 54% of the vote for governor and US Senator, respectively. In 2008, [[John McCain]] carried Chenango County over [[Barack Obama]] in the presidential election by a close margin of 49.59%-48.45% or a difference of 237 votes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/statesub.php?year=2008&fips=36017&f=0&off=0&elect=0|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections - State Data}}</ref> In 2010, Democrat [[Andrew Cuomo]] for governor, and Democrats [[Chuck Schumer]] and [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] for the US Senate each carried it. In 2012, Republican [[Mitt Romney]] narrowly won the county over Obama, but like most of the Upstate, swung sharply towards the Republicans in 2016 and 2020, with [[Donald Trump]] receiving over 60% of the vote in 2020 making him the first Republican to do so since 1984.
