More on Detroit City Council
Description from Wikipedia:
The Detroit City Council is the legislative body of the City of Detroit, Michigan. The City Council consists of nine members elected for a four-year term in a single election conducted on an at-large and non-partisan basis. According to the City Charter, the candidate who receives the highest number of votes becomes president of the Council, and the member receiving the second highest number of votes becomes the president pro tempore.
The City Council was first constituted as the legislative body of the City in 1824 and was called the Common Council until July 1, 1974. Since 1918 the entire Council has been elected at-large by the City of Detroit as a whole. Attempts to change this system and to return to electing council members by ward (district) have failed. Detroit is currently the largest city in the country to elect its entire legislative council at-large.
