City Elections

Jacksonville has a Mayor and six Council members, all elected for four year terms. Two of the Council members are elected “at-large” and all City voters are allowed to cast their votes for them, and for the Mayor. Four other members of the Council are elected to represent 4 wards in the City. View a map of the City Election Wards

Only voters who are residents of the wards are allowed to vote for their ward representatives. Elections are arranged so that every resident has at least two positions to vote for during each election.

When the Mayor seat is up for election, so also are the seats for Wards 3 & 4.

When the two At-large seats on the Council are up for election, so also are the seats for Wards 1 & 2.

Elections are held on the odd numbered years in November with filing in July set by the legislature.
