The communal institutions
In every commune, there is a communal council that consists of between 7 and 55 members, depending on the number of inhabitants. The Council deals with everything of "communal interest", by means of communal regulations.
The Council elects the Aldermen who, together with the Mayor, form the College of Mayor and Aldermen.
The Mayor is appointed by the King from among the Council members, under the responsibility of the Minister for the Home Department.
The legislator decided that the members of the Council could recommend candidates to the Governor.
In exceptional circumstances, the King may appoint a Mayor who is not a member of the Council, after receiving a positive recommendation from the Permanent Delegation.
