The mayor of Naples is an elected politician who, along with the Naples’s City Council of 40 members, is accountable for the strategic government of Naples.

Overview

[edit]

According to the Italian Constitution, the mayor of Naples is a member of the City Council of Naples. The mayor and the other 40 city councillors (consiglieri comunali) are elected for a five years term by the Italian and EU citizens residing in Naples.

After the election, the mayor can appoint one vice mayor and up to 16 assessors; together they form the municipal government (giunta comunale) and they implement the municipal policies, which are determined and controlled by the City Council. The City Council has also the power to dismiss the mayor or any of the assessors with a motion of no confidence.

Since 1993, Italian mayors of municipalities of more than 15,000 inhabitants have been directly elected by their respective electorates. Voters can express their choice for the mayor and for a list of municipal councillors not necessarily supporting the same mayor-candidate (voto disgiunto). If no mayor-candidate receives a majority of votes, a run-off election is held two weeks later among the top two candidates. In the list choice, each voter can express one or two preferences for councillor candidates; in the case of two preferences, their gender must be different. The party and civic lists supporting the elected mayor are granted a majority of the City Council seats, divided proportionally to each list result, by means of a majority bonus; the remaining seats are then assigned proportionally to the opposition lists.

The official seat of the mayor and of the City Council is Naples' City Hall, Palazzo San Giacomo.
