As independent, sovereign entities, tribes rely on their councils, which act as their governing body. The Sycuan tribal council consists of seven democratically elected officials who determine and administer laws, conditions and regulations by which tribal members are to comply.

It is the responsibility and goal of the council to oversee the business operations of the tribe as well as to ensure the health, wellfare and safety of not only its tribal members, but of the local and surrounding community as well.

Tribal council members must be over the age of 18 in order to run for office. Members serve a four-year term and all tribal members over the age of 18 are eligible to take part in the election process. The head of the tribe is known as the Chairman or Chairwoman and also serves a four-year term. All decisions and/or laws with major tribal implications are presented to the tribe's general council for final vote. The general council consists of all tribal members over the age of 18.
