City Council
The City of Okeechobee's City Council is made up of five representatives who reside within the city limits. They are elected at large, (not by districts), to four-year terms. Each even- numbered year on General Election Day in November, the city's registered voters may elect or re-elect two or three City Council members to represent them in their city government.
