Since the 1928 election, the City Council has consisted of 5-members elected city-wide for four-year, overlapping terms.

The City of Charlottesville operates under a Council-Manager form of government. Charlottesville voters elect a five member council to serve at large as the City’s legislative and governing body. The members serve four year terms. At the first regular meeting after the last election, the new council select one councilor to serve as mayor and one as vice mayor for two years. Municipal elections are held in November in odd-numbered years. The terms of Council members are staggered so that three are elected in one year and two are elected two years later.
