The CRD Board is comprised of 24 directors, representing each of the 13 participating municipalities and 3 electoral areas.
For municipalities, each council appoints one or more elected official to the board. The formula is one director for every 25,000 population (or portion thereof). For electoral areas, citizens elect one director to the Board during general local elections.
The Board uses special voting rules based on population and the combination of participants in each service. Some votes are unweighted (one vote per director) and others are weighted based on population (one vote per 5,000 population or portion thereof).
