==Government==
Maui County has a quasi-[[mayor-council government|mayor-council]] form of municipal government. Unlike traditional municipal governments, the county government is established by the state legislature by statute and is not chartered. Executive authority is vested in the mayor, elected by the voters on a nonpartisan basis to a four-year term (with a limit of two consecutive full terms). Legislative authority is vested in the nine-member [[Maui County Council]]. All seats in the county council have residency requirements, but all Maui County voters may vote in elections for all nine seats regardless of residence. Members of the county council are elected on a nonpartisan basis to two-year terms (with a limit of five consecutive full terms).

The mayor of Maui County is [[Richard Bissen]], serving since January 2023. Richard Bissen formerly served as a Judge for the 2nd [[Hawaii State Circuit Court]].
