Town Council Terms

Terms of Office for Officials Elected in the November 7, 2017 & November 5, 2019 Elections

At its regular meeting of May 3, 2017, the Fairfax Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 807, which moves the Town’s municipal elections from November of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years, as required by State law.  The change will be phased in by electing Town officers for 3-year terms during the next two election cycles and returning to 4-year terms in the November 2020 election. Accordingly, Town Council members, the Town Clerk and the Town Treasurer elected in the general municipal elections on November 7, 2017, and November 5, 2019, will serve 3-year terms.
