General Election

Claremont is a General Law City governed by a five-member City Council. City Councilmembers are elected by geographically defined districts, each for four-year terms. The elections coincide with the Statewide General Election, held in November of even-numbered years. City Councilmembers are non-partisan positions and do not have term limits. Terms are staggered, so that two seats are voted on during one election cycle and three seats during the next cycle.

The next City Council election for Districts 2,3, and 4 will take place in November 2026.

Election for Members of Claremont City Council - Districts 1 & 5

In February 2019, the City transitioned from at-large elections to a district-based election system. The by-district system divides the City into five geographic areas. Voters will select one Council candidate from their district every four years. Terms for Claremont City Council Districts 1 and 5 were set to expire in November 2024. A General Municipal Election was held on November 5, 2024, and these seats were open to eligible candidates.

The 2024 Election results were certified on December 10, 2024. Corey Calaycay and Sal Medina were sworn in as Councilmembers for Districts 1 and 5 respectively.
