    A regular plural, formed by adding -s to the spelling that is standard in the US: one l, where councillors doubles it. The two spellings name the same members of a council, so the choice is about audience and house style, not meaning. Whichever a text adopts, it should keep to it throughout, in the singular and the plural alike.
