City Council Wards:

Crete is a First-Class city with a mayor-council form of government. The City of Crete is divided into three wards for City Council representation. Each ward is represented by two members of the City Council, who are elected to four-year terms. One council seat in each ward is up for election every two years. The wards are determined by population and approved by the City Council after each official census. View Crete City Code, Article 2, Elected Officials
