What are the requirements for the city councils?

City councils are the local legislators at the city level. Common tasks include deciding which services the city will provide and how to pay for them. Every city has a different process for electing, and retaining city council members.[1] In general, you will have to qualify as a candidate (i.e., meet age and residency requirements), register as a candidate (i.e., appear before the city clerk and obtain voter signatures), and run your campaign.
