===List of City Councilors, 1946 to present===
''See [[List of Charlottesville City Council sessions]]; [[City Council]]; [[Charlottesville City Council (History)]]''
From [[September 1]], [[1946]] to present, the City of Charlottesville has operated under a Council-Manager form of government. Charlottesville voters elect a five member [[City Council|Council]] to serve at-large (citywide) as the City’s legislative and governing body. The terms of Council members are staggered so that three are elected in one year and two are elected two years later. The members serve four year terms. Following the last election, the members select one Councilor to serve as Mayor and one as Vice Mayor for two years. If a vacancy occurs, Council elects a new member to serve out the unexpired term.
 
::Since [[2007]], Municipal elections have been held in November in odd-numbered years with the new two-year term beginning on [[January 1]] following the last election. From [[1972]] until [[2006]], City Council elections were held in May of even-numbered years and terms began on [[July 1]]. Prior to [[1970]], Municipal elections were held in June of even-numbered years and regular terms began on [[September 1]].
