It depends upon the jurisdiction. In some, commissioners are appointed, often by the mayor or similar official. In others, commissioners are elected. Likewise, in some places, races for the city commission are partisan and in some, non-partisan.

In cases where seats are elected, not appointed, it may be necessary to mount a campaign--if there is an opponent for the seat. This involves fund-raising, appearance at groups, and before the public.

It is vital to familiarize yourself with the election law of the jurisdiction. These laws likely dictate timetables for declaring candidacy, how and from whom campaign funds may be raised, the filing of accountings by the campaign of where and how money was spent, and various other factors.

Whether or not the seat is contested, the candidate must be familiar with the issues upon which he/she is expected to address. His/her positions must be grounded in fact and principle, and must not be grounded only to advance his/her own interests.
