Aside from the mayor, who is a member of the commission and acts as its chairman, there are four commissioners on the city commission of Dayton, Ohio. They are elected for four-year terms in open, nonpartisan at-large elections. All candidates compete in a single, open primary. The four top vote-getters in the primary go on to compete in the nonpartisan general election. The top two vote-getters in the general win seats on the commission. Two commissioners are selected in one election year and two commissioners are selected two years later. When fewer than five candidates file for the election, then no primary is held; all the candidates automatically advance to the general election.
