Columbus City Council
The Columbus City Council is the lawmaking body of Columbus, Ohio. It meets in the City Council Chambers located on the second floor of Columbus City Hall. Following the 2023 election, the City Council expanded from seven to nine members. Council members are elected at-large in a single election but are separated into nine districts.

Starting in 2024, four members of the council (Lot B) were elected to two-year terms while the other five (Lot A) are serving four-year terms. These groupings were determined by drawing lots done by the City Clerk. At the end of each of these terms, the lots will switch term periods, resulting in an alternated staggering of four and two-year terms between Lot A and Lot B. Although the city is divided into nine districts, voters within Columbus vote for all nine council members.
