How Columbus City Council works
Columbus uses a hybrid system: members must live in the district they represent, but every voter in the city votes on all nine seats. Here's why — and what it means for you.
Read the explainer →A vote on how council is elected
Columbus voters will decide two charter amendments on how City Council is elected — a citizen measure for district-only elections and a Council measure expanding the body to 13 members. Both are on the November ballot. Understand what's on your ballot before you vote.

Who is my Columbus city council member?
Because Columbus currently elects its council members citywide, all nine members represent you — but each one must live in, and is tied to, a specific district. You can see who represents each of the nine districts on this page.
How many City Council districts does Columbus have?
Columbus has nine City Council districts. They were created by a 2018 charter amendment that expanded the council from seven at-large seats to nine district-based seats, first filled in the 2023 election.
Do I vote for one council member or all nine?
Right now, all nine. Columbus uses a hybrid system in which every voter votes in all nine district races. That may change: two charter amendments on the November 3, 2026 ballot would move toward district-only elections and/or expand the council. Read the 2026 ballot explainer for details.
