About The Council

The City of Elk Point is governed by a mayor elected at large by the eligible voters of the community. The City Council is composed of two representatives from each of three wards, a total of six elected Council members who vote on policy directions for the City.

The Mayor and Council members are elected to two-year terms, with ward elections staggered so that three Council positions – one from each ward — are subject to election annually.

The Mayor does not vote on Council business unless there is a tie, and the Mayor can veto a Council decision.
