Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township clerk, who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election.

Jefferson Township Firefighters has initiated a program whereby those in need of a smoke detector can obtain one from the fire department. Residents of Jefferson and Fairfield Townships can call the fire station at 614-879-8265 to make arrangements to have a detector installed. It is the hope of the firefighters that this program can be long lasting. At present, supplies are limited and will be on a first come first served basis.
