Elections

Local Government & the Democratic Process

General municipal elections are held in November of even-numbered years. The next General Municipal Election will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. 

Members of the City Council are currently elected at-large to serve the entire community rather than by district. The Mayor is directly elected to a two-year term and the four City Council members are elected to four-year staggered terms.

City Council Districts

More information about the process can be found on the District Elections webpage.
