Elections

Each city council member is elected from a single-member district. Elections follow a two-round system. The first round of the election is called the primary election. The top-two candidates in the primary election advance to a runoff election, called the general election. Write-in candidates are only allowed to contest the primary election and are not allowed in the general election. Council members are elected to four-year terms. City council seats are all officially non-partisan by state law, although most members identify a party preference.

The most recent general election was held in November 2020 for districts 1, 4, and 5. The next elections for these seats will be held in 2024. General elections for districts 2, 3, and 6 were last held in November 2018. The next election for these seats will be in 2022.
