Upper Providence Township Council
The Upper Providence Township Council is composed of 5 elected officials from the 5 voting precincts of UPT. Council decides on almost all important Township matters, including setting the budget, tax rates, trash collection fees, approving or disapproving of land developments and capital projects, writing ordinances and setting Township-wide ambition and goals. Councilmembers are elected to a 4-year term.

In 2024, there is 1 Councill seat up for election in the 5th District. This election is to fill the remaining term (1 year) for the former Councilperson who resigned in 2023. This seat will be up for re-election in 2025 for a full 4-year term. Currently, the 5th District is the northwest portion of the Township above the bypass, (extending up 252 and Providence Road to the Township border at Gradyville Road).
