Every four years, residents of Fishers elect a seven-member Town Council and a Clerk-Treasurer. The Town Council holds the legislative and executive powers for the Town, and the clerk-treasurer is responsible for matters related to the Town's finances.    

All councilors are considered "at large" which means all Fishers residents vote on all councilors, not just the councilor representing their particular district. The town council elects a council president and vice-president each year.

The council is also responsible for appointing and overseeing a town manager whose responsibilities include overseeing the Administration, Development, Fire, Police, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Wastewater and Information Technology departments.
