Since 2014 the district has been a non-constituent member of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (formerly known as the Sheffield City Region); the council sends representatives to meetings of the combined authority, but the electorate of Bolsover District do not vote in elections for the Mayor of South Yorkshire.[7]

The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until the new arrangements came into effect on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council since 1974 has been as follows:[8][9]

The council is based at The Arc in Clowne, which is a combined leisure centre and council headquarters. Prior to 2013 the council was based at Sherwood Lodge on Oxcroft Lane in Bolsover, comprising a large Victorian house and modern office extensions. Sherwood Lodge was subsequently sold and a retail development built on the site.[14]

The district is divided into 16 civil parishes.[15] The parish councils for Old Bolsover (which covers the town of Bolsover) and Shirebrook take the style "town council".[16]
