A board of supervisors governed Oneida County until 1962, when the county charter was changed to create a [[county executive]] and a 29-seat county legislature. The entire county elects the county executive. On January 1, 2014, the Oneida County Legislature was reduced to 23 seats. All 23 members are elected from single-member districts. Currently, there are 17 [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] and 6 [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]].

Oneida County also leans Republican in major statewide and national elections. The last Democratic presidential nominee to carry Oneida County was [[Bill Clinton]] in [[1996 United States presidential election in New York|1996]], by plurality. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was [[Lyndon B. Johnson|Lyndon Johnson]] in his [[1964 United States presidential election in New York|1964]] landslide. In [[2008 United States presidential election in New York|2008]], Republican [[John McCain]] won the county by 6,000 votes out of 90,000 cast. He won all municipalities in the county except the city of [[Utica, New York|Utica]] and the town of [[Kirkland, New York|Kirkland]]. In [[2012 United States presidential election in New York|2012]], Republican [[Mitt Romney]] won the county by even fewer votes, by around 4,000 plus votes. Republican [[Donald Trump]] returned the county to its reliably red roots, posting strong victories in [[2016 United States presidential election in New York|2016]], [[2020 United States presidential election in New York|2020]], and [[2024 United States presidential election in New York|2024]].
