Westfield is divided into four electoral districts called wards. Each ward elects two councilmembers who sit on the Town Council and vote on measures to be passed into law. The entire municipality elects a mayor who serves as president of the Town Council. All elected officials on the Town Council serve four-year terms. The Town Council holds weekly meetings open to the public where it discusses legislation under consideration.

Members of the Town Council are:^[8]

• Mayor - Andrew Skibitsky (R)
• 1st Ward - Frank Arena (R) and Sal Caruana (R)
• 2nd Ward - Jo Ann Neylan (R) and Vicki Kimmons (R)
• 3rd Ward - Mark Ciarrocca (R) and David Haas (D)
