By-District Elections

On March 22, 2022, the San Bruno City Council completed its sixth and final public hearing on the district formation process. Ordinance 1907 was adopted, and the City Council established the City’s first district map for City Council elections. The Ordinance implemented by-district elections of four City Council Members beginning in November 2022. 

The City of San Bruno's first by-district election began with representatives for Districts 1 and 4 during the November 2022 election. The remaining two districts (2 and 3) will be up for election in November 2024.  Each district Council Member will serve a four-year term and must live in their respective district.  

The remaining Council Member, the Mayor, continues to be elected every two years. This structure was established by Measure F in 1977 and is not affected by the adoption of a 4-district map. Thus, the November 2024 ballot will also include the election of a Mayor for the next two years.
