The Mayor of Crotone is an elected politician who, along with the Crotone's City Council, is accountable for the strategic government of Crotone in Calabria, Italy. The current Mayor is Vincenzo Voce, a civic independent, who took office on 7 October 2020.[1] [2]
According to the Italian Constitution, the Mayor of Crotone is member of the City Council.
The Mayor is elected by the population of Crotone, who also elects 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 1997 the Mayor is elected directly by Crotone'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.
From 1946 to 1997, the Mayor of Crotone was elected by the City's Council.[3]
Since 1997, under provisions of new local administration law, the Mayor of Crotone is chosen by direct election.[3]
