November 2022 Election
The Del Mar City Council is comprised of five elected City Councilmembers who serve staggered four-year terms. Mayor and Deputy Mayor appointments rotate annually among City Councilmembers.
On June 6, 2022, the Del Mar City Council adopted the required resolutions calling for the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election. On November 8, 2022, the voters of Del Mar will be voting for two City Council seats which will become vacant due to the term expiration of Council seats currently held by Mayor Dwight Worden and Councilmember Terry Gaasterland. There are no Del Mar specific ballot measures being brought forward for voter consideration during the November 2022 General Municipal Election. The election will be consolidated with the County of San Diego Registrar or Voters (ROV).
