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 wards.

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 first City Council Meeting following the election.
