It depends on where you are.\n\nSome cities have a mayor as a full-time paid employee, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the municipality. Others have the mayor in a more ceremonial position, hiring a city manager to handle the day-to-day stuff.\n\nObviously, if your city doesn't pay the mayor, then it's expected that the mayor would have a "day job."

If it is a non-partisan election the City Secretary can give you all the information about filing and running.  Get serious first.  You will need to call in every favor of every person you have ever met to win.  You need them as volunteers for about a year.  Good lunk.

You need to talk to someone at the City Managers office. There is probably a list of qualifications and guidelies you can get from them...if you qualify, then start working on a campaign!

I would suggest going to local state offices around the time it is time to run for something (preferably small like alderman or city council) and run.  Get your platform out (try to fit your platform to the values of the town you're running in) and assuming you get voted in then run for a slightly higher office.  \n\nFor example-city council-school superintendent-city legislature-mayor-governor-senator or president\n\nbasically ease your way up the ladder.

Unless the city charter or state constitution prohibits it; the legal age would be that of being registered to vote.  The typical requirement for a locally elected official is being registered to vote.

i am not necessarily an alderman, but i work with them (im the student advisor to my local city council).  an alderman is another name for a city council member.  they help the mayor run the city and make decisions on water, sewer, economic development, roads, and zoning issues in their community.  they are elected officials, so in order to be one, you have to declare your candidacy with your county clerk when it comes time for an election (every city and state is different).  i could go on for hours, so if you wanted more information, just send me a message, and ill glady go into a lot more detail.

Start going to your local precinct meetings.  STart running for PTA president and city council and after that mayor of a small town where you live.  Start serving on committees and boards.  Start working for someone who is already in office to learn the ropes.  Work for a legislator or lobbyist.  Campaign for candidates you believe in, if they get elected they may offer you a job.  Then you can go from there, when they leave office you can run for it.

Become a member of a political party. call the leader of the party in the area to inform them of your desire to run. Contact your county board of elections to fins the procedures for placing your name on the ballot. May be wise to retain legal council to guide you through the steps to meet all deadlines and such. When you are in the run, Campaign like crazy. Advertising, canvassing, debates and fundraisers are important. Make shure you have well defined answers to position questions in advance (I can Help with that). Actually taking a firm position on issues is not as important, because you are there to represent people, who change their mind every time the evening news tells them to. \nAnd, oh yeah, don't do anything illegal or morally reprehensible. Being qualified to be mayor is a question only the electorate can answer.

No different than to any other Mayor. Just " Mayor (name, if you have it) of etc."\nYou will have to have the correct post code, but won't need a street address as they all know where the Mayor is. You can go to Italy Gov. web site to get the post code if your PO here can't find it for you. I just went through this getting the post code for a friend of mine in Grease.

They just had a mayoral election this past November. (2005)\n\nHowever, this was the first year in many that they did this.  Previously people just elected the city council and then they chose a mayor.

They are the city's form of government. They decide issues on city ordances, whether to pass them or not. They hear issues of the citizens of the city and make rulings on them. They decide the budget for the city.

To be governor or mayor a candidate does not have to be a U.S. citizen.  Case in point, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria.  However, in order to run for U.S. president a candidate must be 35 years or older, he must be born in the United States and be a resident of the United States for a minimum of 14 years.

Suggest that you contact the city's licensing bureau or office.

The structure of a city government varies widely depending on the size and makeup of the city. Most have a city commission or council, which is headed by the mayor. They make most of the decisions concerning the city. There are then several departments that carry out the city's laws, including police (though many cities rely on county sheriffs), fire departments, building inspections and permits, licensing of various sorts, public schools, parks and recreation, etc.
