City Elective Offices
The City of Mound holds city elections in even-numbered years and does not hold a primary for city elections. The City of Mound's five elected officials include that of the Mayor for a two-year term, and four Councilmembers for four-year terms. The Councilmember terms are staggered so that only two seats are up for election at the same time.
Councilmember seats are at-large and represent the entire City of Mound. All offices are nonpartisan.
