All of Oahu is governed by the City and County of Honolulu, which incorporated in 1907. The Honolulu government provides a broad array of municipal services. These services include police and fire protection, highway and street construction and maintenance, sanitation, social services, public improvements, planning and zoning, water supply, and administrative services.
Honolulu is governed by a mayor and a nine-member city council. The mayor is elected on a citywide basis. The council members are elected from nine electoral districts. The mayor and the council members all serve four-year terms, and none may serve more than two consecutive terms.
