The City Council is the governing body of the City of Salisbury. The Council is comprised of five members who are elected on a non-partisan basis. Each Council member serves at-large and represents the entire City. As a result of a 2023 referendum, starting with the 2025 election the mayor will serve a four-year term, while the four City Council seats will begin to stagger. The two highest vote-getters will serve four-year terms, while the remaining two council members will serve two-year terms.
