City Council

Raleigh's Governing Body

The City Council is Raleigh's governing body, consisting of eight members who are elected for two-year terms. Three of the members, including the mayor, are elected at large, while the other members are elected from five districts: A, B, C, D, and E. The City Council sets City policy, enacts laws and adopts the City budget each year.

In May of 2024, City Council enacted changes to the municipal election process through City Ordinance (2024) 627. Changes include implementing four-year terms for council members and the mayor. Learn more about City Council terms and compensation updates.
