The role, appointment and dismissal of the vice mayor
(1) The vice mayor is subordinate to the mayor and, in the situations provided by law,
is the rightful substitute of the mayor, in which case he/she exercises, on behalf of the mayor, the
attributions that belong to the mayor. The mayor can delegate some of his/her attributions to the vice mayor.
(2) The vice mayor is elected, by secret vote, with an absolute majority, from among the members
of the local council, at the proposal of the mayor or the local councilors.
(3) The vote is cast with voting ballots. The election of the vice mayor is made by a decision of the local council.
(4) In the case where two vice mayors are elected, the candidates who have obtained the absolute majority
of votes are declared elected. In this situation, the local council designates, by decision, which of the two vice mayors
exercises the position of the rightful substitute of the mayor.
(5) The dismissal of the vice mayor can be done by the local council, by a decision
adopted, by secret vote, with the majority of two-thirds of the number of councilors in office, at
the well-founded proposal of the mayor or one-third of the number of local councilors
in office. The dismissal of the vice mayor cannot be done in the last 6 months of
the mandate of the local council.
(6) The local councilor who is a candidate for the position of
vice mayor and the vice mayor in office whose change is proposed also participate and vote in the deliberation and adoption of decisions
regarding the election or dismissal of the vice mayor.
(7) During the term of office, the vice mayor retains the status of local councilor,
without benefiting from the allowance associated with this status and being subject to the
specific incompatibilities of the vice mayor's position provided by Book I Title IV of Law no. 161/2003, with
subsequent amendments and completions.
(8) The term of office of the vice mayor is equal to the term of office of the local council. In
the event that the mandate of the local council ceases or the status of local councilor ceases,
before the normal term of 4 years expires, the mandate of the vice mayor also ceases
automatically, without any other formality.
