Mayors in [[Bangladesh]] are elected every five years. They are very powerful in municipal government. The mayor is the highest-ranking official in municipal governments in Bangladesh.
Line 137 ⟶ 138:
There are also some German states that allow smaller cities to have an ''Oberbürgermeister'' as well. In [[Saarland]], for instance, every city with more than 35,000 inhabitants has one, and in [[Saxony-Anhalt]] every city with a population bigger than 25,000 has one. The term {{Lang|de|Oberbürgermeister}} is not used in the three city-states, where the mayors are simultaneously [[minister-president|head of state governments]], but {{Lang|de|Regierender Bürgermeister}} ([[Governing Mayor of Berlin]]), {{Lang|de|Erster Bürgermeister}} ([[First Mayor of the city-state of Hamburg]]) and {{Lang|de|Präsident des Senats und Bürgermeister}} ([[Mayor of Bremen|President of the Senate and Mayor of Bremen]]) are used. However, the term {{Lang|de|Oberbürgermeister}} was used for the head of the state government of [[West Berlin]] until 1951 and was also used in [[East Berlin]] from 1948 to January 1991.

* a ''[[wójt]]'' which is the equivalent office in a rural municipality (''[[gmina|gmina wiejska]]'')
They are elected by a [[two-round system|two-round]] [[direct election]] for a five-year term concurrently with the five-year term of the [[municipal council]] and cannot serve in the latter or in any higher-level deliberative bodies: a [[county council]], a [[voivodeship sejmik]], the [[Parliament of Poland]] or the [[European Parliament]]. Citizens with a criminal record cannot run for mayor, but only if sentenced for intentional criminal offence prosecuted [[ex officio]]. The [[municipal council|municipal/town/city council]] is the legislative, budget-making and oversight body.
Town/city mayors manage the municipal estate, issue administrative decisions and minor regulations, and incur [[liability (financial accounting)|liabilities]] within limits set by the municipal council. They prepare and present the planned budget to the municipal council, subject to its acceptation and amendments. After the municipal council votes to accept the budget, the town/city mayor is responsible for its realization. Town/city mayors are heads of the [[town hall|town/city hall (office)]], the [[register office]] (the town/city mayor may appoint deputies for these specific tasks), as well as the parent authority for all public [[kindergarten]]s and [[elementary school]]s in the municipality. They are also personally responsible for the [[emergency management]] and [[civil defense]] in a municipality. A municipality itself is responsible among others for [[public transport]], [[water supply]] and [[water treatment|treatment]], and [[waste management]]. A town/city mayor has the legal capacity to act as employer for all the officials of a town/city hall. Town/city mayors in Poland have wide administrative and staffing authority: the only municipal executive official that the town/city mayor cannot appoint or dismiss is a [[city treasurer]], who is appointed by the town/city council. Although they do not have in Poland power to veto city council resolutions, their position is relatively strong and should be classified as a [[mayor-council government]].In a [[city with powiat rights]], the city mayor also has the powers and duties of a powiat executive board and a [[starosta]].
