Councillor
A councillor, alternatively councilman, councilwoman, councilperson, or council member, is someone who sits on, votes in, or is a member of, a council. This is typically an elected representative of an electoral district in a municipal or regional government, or other local authority. The title of a councillor varies geographically, with a name generally being preceded by their title (or the shortened version Cllr or Cr when written) in formal or council-related situations in many places.
Due to the control that the provinces have over their municipal governments, terms that councillors serve vary from province to province. Unlike most provincial elections, municipal elections are usually held on a fixed date of 4 years.
This is about honorary rank, not elected officials.
In Finland councillor (neuvos) is the highest possible title of honour which can be granted by the President of Finland. There are several ranks of councillors and they have existed since the Russian Rule. Some examples of different councillors in Finland are as follows:
As per the Seventy-fourth Amendment of the Constitution of India, municipal governance in India is looked after by elected councillors who are members of either a municipal corporation (for cities) or a municipality (for towns).
Under the Philippine Republic Act No. 7160 (otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991), a councilor is a member of a local council that is the legislative body of the local government unit. The English term "councilor" (shortened as "Coun.") term is primarily used to refer to members of barangay, municipal and city councils; in Tagalog, the members of the Sangguniang Barangay (barangay council) and Sangguniang Kabataan (youth council) are called "kagawad", while the members of the Sangguniang Bayan (municipal council) and Sangguniang Panlungsod (city council) are called "konsehal".
Members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial board) are never referred to as "councilors" but as "board members" or "Sangguniang Panlalawigan member".
All local authorities in the United Kingdom are overseen by elected councillors. These include:
