Baltimore City Council, 1923-present
Under the 1923 reorganization of the City Council, Baltimore
was divided into six districts. Each district elected three council members,
and the Council President was elected by the whole city at large, giving
the Council nineteen total members. Members served four year terms. In
1947, a fourth member was added in the Fifth District, and an additional
member was added to the Third District in 1951. These extra council members
were eliminated in 1967.
Baltimore voters approved a referendum in 2002 that changed the membership
of the Council, creating fourteen districts, each electing a single council
member, chosen every four years. The Council President continued to be
elected at large.
