Plainfield town operations follow a chain of command that begins with the registered voters of the town who elect selectmen and town officials. The Select Board acts as the governing body, and appoints a Town Administrator to be in charge of day-to-day operations of the town and to implement their policies.
Local elected officials include the Board of Selectmen, Town Moderator, Town Treasurer, Town Clerk, Cemetery Trustees, Library Trustees, Supervisors of the Checklist, and Trustees of the Trust Funds. The Finance Committee, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment and the other committees and commissions are appointed.
