Overview

According to the Italian Constitution, the Mayor of Verbania is member of the City Council.

The Mayor is elected by the population of Verbania, who also elects the members of the City Council, controlling the Mayor's policy guidelines and is able to enforce his resignation by a motion of no confidence. The Mayor is entitled to appoint and release the members of his government.

Since 1995 the Mayor is elected directly by Verbania's electorate: in all mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 the voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally.

gollark: They also have the advantage of being a socially-acceptable place to live independently or whatever and do weird and/or possibly reckless things, although it's possible this is partly marketing.
gollark: Anyway, on the one hand, universities are apparently quite good jobs-wise and I can probably get into a fairly good one, but on the other hand ~£50000 could pay for 200 years of osmarks.tk server time.
