The Navotas City Council is Navotas's Sangguniang Panlungsod or legislature. Composed of 14 councilors, with 12 councilors elected from MNavotas's six councilor districts (coextensive with the Legislative district of Navotas) and two councilors elected from the ranks of barangay (neighborhood) chairmen and the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK; youth councils). The presiding officer of the council is the Vice Mayor, who is elected citywide.
Each of Navotas's two councilor districts elects six councilors to the council. In plurality-at-large voting, a voter may vote up to six candidates, with the candidates having the six highest number of votes being elected. In addition, the barangay chairmen and the SK chairmen throughout the city elect amongst themselves their representatives to the council. Hence, there are 14 councilors.
City council elections are synchronized with other elections in the country. Elections are held every first Monday of May every third year since 1992.
As the presiding officer, Vice Mayor Clint Geronimo can only vote to break ties.
