The Salt Lake County Council is the legislative body of the home rule government of Salt Lake County, Utah. The council consists of nine members, each representing one of the nine districts from which they were elected.

History

Like most counties in Utah, Salt Lake County was governed by a three-member commission before county voters approved the change to a nine-member council with an elected mayor in 1998 general election.[1] It took effect in 2000, when the first councillors were elected.[2]

Elections

The county council elections are partisan and held alongside general elections in the presidential and midterm election years. The council members are elected in staggered terms, every two years, one at-large and three district members are elected. The members in odd-numbered districts are elected in midterm election years and the members in even-numbered districts are elected in presidential election years.

Composition

The council members are elected from nine districts: three alphabetical districts are at large and are elected to six-year terms, while six numerical districts are sectioned into separate districts and elected to four-year terms.

At-large

The three current at-large council members are Laurie Stringham (Republican), first elected in 2020; Suzanne Harrison (Democratic), first elected in 2022; and Jim Bradley (Democratic), first elected in 2000.[3][4][5]
