Mayor & Council
An elected Council comprising a mayor and six councillors governs the City of Nelson. Councillors are elected for three-year terms and each member of Council represents the City at large.

The current City Council was elected November 15, 2008, to govern for the three-year period from December 2008 to the first Monday in December 2011. Municipal Elections will next be held on November 19, 2011.
