Elections
District-Based Election
Beginning with the November 2018 election, Concord voters participated in the first district-based election, when three City Council seats were up for election. The seats up for election were in Districts 1, 3, and 5. In the November 2020 election, voters elected Councilmembers in Districts 2 and 4.
Councilmember terms overlap, with three Councilmembers elected one year and the other two elected two years later. Councilmembers serve a four-year term. The Councilmembers choose amongst themselves who will serve as Mayor and Vice Mayor, who serve a one-year term. The City Councilmembers also serve as the Local Reuse Authority for the Concord Naval Weapons Station, and the Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District.
Beginning with the 2018 election and moving forward, candidates will be elected from districts where they live.
