The Crystal City Council is composed of a mayor and six council members. The city is divided into two sections and four wards. The mayor is elected at large; council members must reside in the section (if filing for a section seat) or ward (if filing for a ward seat) of the city in which they are running for office. This year’s elections will consist of electing a member to the following municipal offices (all seats are four-year terms):
• Mayor
• Council Member Section I
• Council Member Ward 3
