Overview
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.
