Buhl City Council

Picture
The Buhl City Council is made up of an elected mayor and four elected council members.

City elections occur every two years in odd-numbered years. Each council seat has a four-year term, unless a member is appointed to fill a vacancy during a term.

​In that case, the seat will be up for election for a two-year term during the next city election. If no council members have been appointed mid-term, then only two council seats will be up for election in that cycle.
