The City of Page Council is comprised of the Mayor and six (6) Council Members. The Mayor is elected from the city at large for a 2-year term and Council members are elected from the city at large for 4-year terms. The Mayor election and Council election are every 2 years. To avoid having all the Council seats expire in the same year, terms are staggered with three (3) Council Members elected at one election and three (3) Council Members elected 2 years later.
Page Mayor and Council elections are held in August of even-numbered years. If no candidate for an office receives a majority of the votes cast for that office at the Primary Election in August, a runoff election is held in November at the General Election. The Mayor and Council members shall assume their new office within 20 days of the General Election, even if all offices are filled at the Primary Election.
