WHEN
ARE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS?
The
Lakewood City Council includes a mayor elected at-large, and
10 councilors, two from each of the City's five

The city conducts
its regular municipal election every two years, in odd-numbered
years, on the first Tuesday in November. Lakewood has staggered
terms; one council seat from each ward is filled during each regular
municipal election. The mayoral election is held on the same date,
but every four years. Both the mayor and the councilors are elected
to four-year terms. Elected officials are limited, by City Charter,
to two consecutive four-year terms. Terms of office begin at the
