The Mayor of Venice is an elected politician who, along with the Venice’s City Council of 45 members, is accountable for the strategic government of Venice in northern Italy.
Since 1993 the Mayor is elected directly by Venice's electorate: in all mayoral elections in Italy in cities with a population higher than 15,000 the voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives at least 50% of votes, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a preference vote: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally.
Since 30 March 2010, Giorgio Orsoni is the Mayor of Venice. Previously, the position was held by Massimo Cacciari from April 2005 until his succession by Orsoni.

Elections
Mayoral and Council election, 1993
The election took place in two rounds: the first on 21 November and the second on 5 December.
For the first time under the new electoral law citizens could vote directly the mayor; before this choice was made by the City Council. For the first time in the municipal political history there weren't parties like Christian Democracy, Italian Socialist Party or Italian Communist Party: the main parties were the newborn separatist Lega Nord and the Alliance of Progressives, composed by center-left parties.
The main candidates were Massimo Cacciari and Aldo Mariconda. However there were a lot of others candidates from different parties.
On 5 December 1993, Cacciari won the election and became the first elected mayor of Venice.

Mayoral and Council election, 1997
The election took place on 16 November.
The main candidates were the outgoing mayor Massimo Cacciari, supported by Romano Prodi's coalition The Olive Tree, and Mauro Pizzigati, supported by Silvio Berlusconi's party Forza Italia.

Mayoral and Council election, 2000
The election took place in two rounds: the first on 16 April and the second on 30 April.
The snap election was held in April 2000 because in January of the same year the incumbent mayor Massimo Cacciari lost his majority in the City Council and couldn't approve the municipal economic balance, so he resigned.
The main candidates were two: Paolo Costa and Renato Brunetta.

Mayoral and Council election, 2005
These elections were held on two separate dates: the first round on 3 and 4 April 2005, the second round on 17 and 18 April 2005.
The candidates were in total eleven, but only four were supported by political parties (all the others were supported by civic lists): Massimo Cacciari, which were supported by the center-left party The Daisy, Felice Casson, who was supported by a broad center-left coalition, Cesare Campa, who was supported by Forza Italia and Union of Christian and Centre Democrats, and Alberto Mazzonetto, who was supported by Lega Nord.
In the second round went Massimo Cacciari, who represented the moderate left, and Felice Casson, who represented some of the extreme left parties. Despite the first round had a lot of votes, Casson lost because many of the center-right voters voted for Cacciari.
After two years, however, when Democrats of the Left and The Daisy merged into the Democratic Party, Cacciari had a majority even greater in the city council.

There were nine candidates (two supported by important coalition and seven supported by differents civic lists); the most important candidates were Giorgio Orsoni and the minister Renato Brunetta, who tried for a second time to become the mayor (in fact he was candidate for this position in 2000). Giorgio Orsoni was supported by a center-left coalition formed by Democratic Party, Italy of Values, Union of Christian and Centre Democrats, Communist Refoundation Party and the Italian Socialist Party, Renato Brunetta was supported by a center-right coalition formed by The People of Freedom and Lega Nord.
