In many countries,a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town. Worldwide,there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated. Depending on the system chosen,a mayor may be the chief executive officer of the municipal government,may simply chair a multi-member governing body with little or no independent power,or may play a solely ceremonial role. A mayor's duties and responsibilities may be to appoint and oversee municipal managers and employees,provide basic governmental services to constituents,and execute the laws and ordinances passed by a municipal governing body. Options for selection of a mayor include direct election by the public,or selection by an elected governing council or board.
