City Council elections take place in even-numbered years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, coinciding with statewide general elections.

Council members select a mayor and vice mayor from among themselves annually.

In the November 2024 presidential election, Marin County reported approximately 75% voter turnout with over 145,000 ballots cast out of approximately 193,000 registered voters, reflecting historically high civic engagement. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Belvedere and Marin County voters will decide several important races including California's gubernatorial election (Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027, so the 2026 election will determine the next governor), all 80 seats in the California State Assembly, 20 seats in the California State Senate (half of the 40-seat chamber), various Marin County offices including Board of Supervisors seats, county education offices, and judicial positions, plus the Belvedere City Council seats mentioned above.
