Milton's Town Council consists of the Mayor and eight Councillors who are elected every four years. Council, along with boards and committees, governs the municipality. Its responsibilities include representing the public, deciding which services the Town provides, and maintaining the Town's financial integrity.
Each ward's residents are represented by both a Town Councillor and a Regional Councillor. The Town Councillor represents residents on Milton Town Council; the Regional Councillor represents them at both Milton Town Council and Halton Regional Council, and helps address regional matters such as transportation, infrastructure, public health and regional services.
