County Council to Consider 4-Year, Staggered Terms

Anderson County Council will consider an ordinance to shift the elections of council members to staggered four-year terms as part of Tuesday night's meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the historic courthouse downtown.

Currently, county council members serve two-year terms which are not staggered. A number of council members have said in the past two-year terms essentially are not long enough, suggesting that the shorter terms leave them in a state of constantly running for office.

Greenville and Greenwood County Councils currently uses the four-year, staggered terms approach, as do many other counties in the state.
