The Kaohsiung City Council (Chinese: 高雄市議會; pinyin: Gāoxióng Shì Yìhuì) is the city council of Kaohsiung City, Republic of China. It is currently composed of 65 councilors, each serving a four-year term, elected using the single non-transferable vote system. The speaker and deputy speaker of the council are elected by fellow councilors through a secret ballot. Kaohsiung residents, aged 23 or above and having resided in the city for more than four months, are eligible to cast their votes or run in the municipal election.[1] Along with the New Taipei City Council, the city council is the largest Taiwanese local council in terms of seats.
