Are all council-manager governments structured the same way?

No. One of the most attractive features is that the council-manager form is adaptable to local conditions and preferences. For example, some communities have councils that are elected at large while other councils are elected by district or by a combination of an at-large and by-district structure. In some local governments the mayor or chairperson is elected at large by the voters; others are elected by their colleagues on the governing body.

While the Winchester Mayor is elected at large and the Common Council is elected by ward, some local governments have mayors who are elected by their colleagues on the council (appointed).
