The August 26, 2014, general election in Columbia County featured three seats up for election. District 1 incumbent Linard Johnson faced a challenge from newcomers Daniel C. "Danny" Green and Allison Lashea Scott. Fellow board member Steve Nelson was running against Edgar "Reggie" Clauser III in the District 3 election. Stephanie K. Finnell was seeking another term in the District 5 seat without opposition.

The general election determines if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. If no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in a particular district, the top two vote recipients advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.
