The City Commission is comprised of the mayor and four commissioners elected from the City at-large. The Mayor and City Commissioner elections are held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday of November, in even-numbered years. The Mayor and City Commissioners are elected to four-year, staggered terms. At one election, commissioners for positions # 2 and #3 are held. At the next election, the mayor and commissioners for positions #1 and #4 are elected.  No person shall be elected to the office of commissioner for more than two terms of four years in any ten-year period. Commissioners are required to file a "Statement of Economic Interest" annually with the State Government Standards and Practices Commission. Voters shall have the right to vote for only one candidate for each position on the Commission, and the candidate for each position receiving the highest number of votes for such position shall be considered elected.
