A '''councillor''', alternatively '''councilman''', '''councilwoman''', '''councilperson''', or '''council member''', is someone who sits on, votes in, or is a member of, a [[council]]. This is typically an elected representative of an [[electoral district]] in a [[Municipality|municipal]] or regional [[government]], or other [[Local government|local authority]]. The title of a councillor varies geographically, with a name generally being preceded by their title (or the shortened version '''Cllr''' when written) in formal or council-related situations in many places.
