The Mayor of Perugia is an elected politician who, along with the Perugia's City Council, is accountable for the strategic government of Perugia in Umbria, Italy, the capital city of the region. The current Mayor is Andrea Romizi from the Forza Italia, the first centre-right mayor of the city since the end of World War II, who took office on 12 June 2014.[1]

Overview

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

The Mayor is elected by the population of Perugia, who also elect 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 Perugia'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.
