The City of Berwyn is divided into eight wards. Each ward is represented by an alderperson who is elected by their constituency to serve a four year term. 

In addition to representing the interests of their ward residents, together the eight aldermen and Mayor comprise the City Council, which serves as the local legislative branch of government of the City of Berwyn.

City Council meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 8:00pm to exercise general and specific powers delegated by state statute.

Its 8 standing aldermanic committees work with city departments on the execution of city initiatives, review proposed ordinances, resolutions and orders before they are voted on by the full city council.
