Elections for [Aliso Viejo] City Council seats are held on the first Tuesday in November of even-numbered years, coinciding with state and national elections. Council Members are elected at-large for a four-year term. Council Members serve "staggered" terms, meaning that each election fills either two or three open seats.

! Selection of Mayor

The City’s Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem are selected at the first meeting of each December to serve a one-year term beginning January 1. These positions are filled by sitting Council Members by a vote of the majority of members.

! Election History

Note that [Aliso Viejo] became Orange County's 34th city on July 1, 2001, so there's no city council history before that.
