Seats are non-partisan: Council is for 4 years and term is limited to 3 consecutive terms for a total of 12 years. Each Council Member will be voted for and elected only by the registered voters of the ward that the Council Member actually resides in and will represent (Article II, Section 2.010, Subsection 5 of the Charter of the City of North Las Vegas).
