What election system does the City currently use?

Currently, the Irvine City Council consists of the Mayor and four Councilmembers who are elected at-large. This means any eligible voter who lives in the City can run for office, and every voter may vote for all City Councilmember seats, regardless of where they live in the City. Councilmembers each serve a four-year term and the Mayor serves a two-year term. The City of Irvine has a two-term limit for elected officials.
