Garden Grove uses a [[council-manager]] form of government. In July 2015, the city was sued by a resident who claimed that the longstanding at-large elections had affected the Latino vote and was in violation of the [[California Voting Rights Act]]. On January 26, 2016, the city council voted to settle the lawsuit, and therefore adopted that council members would be voted by district (six districts total) and no longer at-large; the mayor, however, will continue to be elected at-large.<ref>{{cite news|last=Vo|first=Thy|title=Garden Grove Mayor Will Continue to be Elected on At-Large Basis|url=http://voiceofoc.org/2016/01/garden-grove-mayor-will-continue-to-be-elected-on-at-large-basis/|access-date= December 13, 2016|newspaper=The Voice of OC|date=January 27, 2016}}</ref> The [[city council]] consists of [[mayor]] Stephanie Klopfenstein, George S.
