Mayoral elections occur every four years. City council seats are also contested every four years. Not all council members are elected in the same year, as the elections are staggered throughout even-numbered years. The council consists of five members elected to represent specific sections of the city and three additional seats that represent the city as a whole (that is, [[at-large]]). The council member position is designed to be part-time. Sioux Falls operates under a [[home rule]] charter as permitted by the South Dakota constitution.<ref name=SiouxFallscouncil>{{cite web|url=http://www.siouxfalls.org/upload/documents/comdev/2006%20plan%20draft%20comment.pdf |title=2006 Action Plan Draft |publisher=City of Sioux Falls |year=2006 |access-date=March 20, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070704194931/http://www.siouxfalls.org/upload/documents/comdev/2006%20plan%20draft%20comment.pdf |archive-date=July 4, 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In the [[2004 United States presidential election|2004 presidential election]], [[George W.
