The Mayor of Lodi is an elected politician who, along with the Lodi's City Council, is accountable for the strategic government of Lodi in Lombardy, Italy.
The current Mayor is Andrea Furegato (PD), who took office on 15 June 2022.[1]
According to the Italian Constitution, the Mayor of Lodi is member of the City Council.
The Mayor is elected by the population of Lodi, 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 1993, the Mayor is elected directly by Lodi'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 1993, the Mayor of Lodi was elected by the City Council.[2]
