Bill: Mayoral Appointment Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Federal Green Party (FGP)
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 3813
Description[?]:
| The purpose of this bill is to further the cause of localization. Cities ought to be able to choose how Mayors are appointed. This bill would change the current law to allow cities to elect the mayor through their municipal council rather than necessarily having a direct election. The Reform Option believes that this is important for cities. If a city wishes to appoint mayors through an election of the council or some other method then this seems to be an equally meritorious method of appointment. So long as some sort of democratic takes place: Be it a direct election or an election for the municipal council which then elects the Mayor. |
Proposals
