Chula Vista consolidates its General Municipal Elections with the Statewide Primary Elections. In order to be elected to the City Council or office of the City Attorney, a majority vote of the people of the City is required. The City Council consists of five members: four Councilmembers and a Mayor. The term of office for each member is four years, and there is a limit of two consecutive terms for each position.

Proposition B, which was approved by voters at the November 2012 election, provides for some significant changes in elections in the City of Chula Vista:

  • District Elections. City Councilmembers are elected "by district," beginning in 2016 and phased-in completely by 2018. Each Councilmember will represent one of four geographic districts The Mayor will continue to serve the community at-large.
  • Mandatory Run-Off. Effective in 2014, the election process for the Mayor, the City Attorney, and City Councilmembers requires a November "run-off" election for each office, regardless of whether one candidate receives greater than 50% of the vote in the general election, or if there are only two candidates that qualify to run for the seat. In November, the candidate with the highest number of votes is elected.

It is the duty of the City Clerk to conduct Municipal Elections in accordance with the City Charter, the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the Elections Code, and the Political Reform Act of 1974.

The City Council of the City of Chula Vista adopted a Campaign Contribution Ordinance, available in Chapter 2.52 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code.
