Councillor
How it's filled
- In plain words
- Elected by everyone in Point Lance
- Exact method
- Elected for a four-year term (Municipal Elections Act, s. 5). A town council has an odd number of members, 5 to 9 including the mayor (more only with the minister's approval) (Towns and Local Service Districts Act, s. 24), so up to 8 councillors besides the mayor; this council's exact size is not yet recorded. Councillors are elected at large unless the town has wards (s. 25).
