The Golden City Council consists of 7 elected officials; the Mayor, two District Councilors, and 4 Ward Councilors.  The city is divided into four equal sized Wards basically representing the NE (Ward3), NW (Ward 4), SE (Ward 1), SW (Ward2) portions of the city.  The two districts consist of two Wards each.  District One consists of Wards one and two, District two consists of Wards three and four.

Every four years there are elections for the four Ward council seats (2009) and two years after that are elections for the Mayor and two District seats (2011).

The deadline to register to vote this year is October 5th.  The ballots will be sent out mid-October and must be returned by November 3rd.  This election is an all mail in ballot.  Everyone who is registered to vote by October 5th should receive there ballot in the mail by October 19th.
