A city officer must be a qualified elector under the state constitution who has resided in the city before being elected for a period of time that is specified in the city charter.St Helens City Councilors are elected at large. Voters are asked to vote for a number of candidates equal to the number of open seats. They serve for a 4-year term (unless they are filling out a partial term) and are elected on a nonpartisan basis. In most cities, the City Councilors are unpaid.
