Terms are staggered with two council members elected one election cycle and the other two and the mayor two years later. The non-mayoral seats are elected in pairs, giving voters the chance to vote for up to two candidates. If necessary, races are narrowed down during a primary election.
This system involves staggered elections for council members and the mayor, with non-mayoral seats elected in pairs. Voters have the opportunity to choose up to two candidates per position. Primary elections may be held if needed to reduce the number of candidates.
