Former Councilors

Article 60 of the second part of the constitution provides for an executive council of five members to advise and act with the governor. Before the constitution there was a council both under the temporary constitution of the Revolution and under the provincial government. Since 1913 councilors have been elected by plurality vote to represent population but previously to that they were elected by majority vote to represent property. In the colonial days councilors were appointed.

The following is a list of all the councilors during the 20th century giving the name and address of each and the years they served.
