the legislative branch of the city government is the indianapolis city-county council, which is composed of 25 members elected to four-year terms. each of the members represent geographic districts that are drawn every 10th year in the year following the census (i.e. the 2010 census led to the 2011 drawing of districts). the council previously consisted of the 25 district councilors and 4 at-large council seats, however in 2013 the indiana general assembly adopted a new local government act that eliminated the 4 at-large seats.
