The Mayor of Milan (Italian: Sindaco di Milano) is an elected politician who, along with the Milan’s City Council of 48 members, is accountable for the strategic government of Milan in northern Italy. The title is the equivalent of Lord Mayor in the meaning of an actual executive leader.

The current mayor of Milan is Giuseppe Sala, a centre-left wing independent leading a progressive alliance composed by the Democratic Party and Italian Left.

Overview

The Mayor's and City Council seat, Palazzo Marino.

According to the Italian Constitution, the Mayor of Milan is member of the Milan's City Council. Although the title Mayor is not held by the heads of the nine boroughs of Milan, because they do not actually preside over self-governmental municipalities.

The Mayor is elected by the population of Milan. Citizens elect also the members of the City Council, which also controls 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 1993 the Mayor is elected directly by Milan'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.

The seat of the Mayor and of the City Council is the city hall Palazzo Marino, in Piazza della Scala.

gollark: I suspect it was just accidentally mistyping a number.

gollark: I'd also like to note the fact that the original trade hub was the minimum viable product and didn't even have proper rules.

gollark: Caught a what?

gollark: Meaning, of course, that it will never happen.
