Members of the Council are known as alderpersons, (some prefer the terms alderman, alderwoman, or alder) and are elected from districts known as wards. [1] [2] [3] Since 1923 there have been fifty wards, each entitled to one alderperson. Prior to that time the number of wards varied but they were almost always entitled to two alderpersons each.
