The council of Dupont is comprised of seven elected officials. Elections are staggered every two years, with four and then three council members elected. Council elects a President who presides over meetings, and oversees the everyday running of the boro.

These two positions are voted on, during the very first meeting of each and every new year. Ann Marie O'Malley is the president of council and Bernie Babonis is the Vice-President.
