At the local level, Huntington Beach elects its city council at-large, the largest city in Orange County to do so. Huntington Beach is considered highly conservative at the local level, and in 2022 passed several conservative resolutions including banning the Pride flag on city property and requiring voter ID at the polls. In 2024, conservatives gained complete control of the city council by ousting the remaining left-leaning city councilors, giving conservatives a 7-0 majority.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-25 |title=In November election, OC earned its purple cred |url=https://laist.com/news/politics/november-election-orange-county-results#republicans-solidified-their-grip-on-huntington-beach |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=LAist |language=en}}</ref>
