Editing Mayor (section)

===Brazil===
Every municipality in Brazil elects a mayor (Portuguese: {{Lang|pt|prefeito/prefeita}}) and a vice-mayor (Portuguese: {{Lang|pt|vice-prefeito/vice-prefeita}}) for a four-year term, acting as an executive officer with the city council (Portuguese: {{Lang|pt|Câmara Municipal}}) functioning with legislative powers. The mayor can be re-elected and manage the city for two consecutive terms.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|title=Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil|url=https://www.senado.leg.br/atividade/const/con1988/con1988_05.10.1988/art_29_.asp|access-date=2021-10-03|website=www.senado.leg.br|language=pt-br|doi=<!-- none -->|archive-date=5 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200805092446/http://www.senado.leg.br/atividade/const/con1988/CON1988_05.10.1988/art_29_.asp|url-status=live}}</ref>

Mayoral elections in Brazil occur in two different ways: in municipalities with more than 200,000 inhabitants, the voting happens in a [[two-round system]], like the [[Presidential elections in Brazil|presidential]] and [[Federative units of Brazil|gubernatorial]] elections. In municipalities with less than 200,000 inhabitants, the voting happens in a [[Plurality (voting)|relative majority system]] (with only one round).<ref name="auto"/><ref>{{Cite web|title=Eleições 2020: 95 municípios com mais de 200 mil eleitores poderão ter 2º turno em novembro|url=https://www.tse.jus.br/imprensa/noticias-tse/2020/Setembro/eleicoes-2020-95-municipios-com-mais-de-200-mil-eleitores-poderao-ter-2o-turno-em-novembro|access-date=2021-10-03|website=www.tse.jus.br|language=pt-br|archive-date=3 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003003910/https://www.tse.jus.br/imprensa/noticias-tse/2020/Setembro/eleicoes-2020-95-municipios-com-mais-de-200-mil-eleitores-poderao-ter-2o-turno-em-novembro}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=PDF.js viewer|url=https://www.tse.jus.br/imprensa/noticias-tse/arquivos/municipios-2-turno-eleicoes-2020/rybena_pdf?file=https://www.tse.jus.br/imprensa/noticias-tse/arquivos/municipios-2-turno-eleicoes-2020/at_download/file|access-date=2021-10-03|website=www.tse.jus.br|language=pt-br|archive-date=3 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003003916/https://www.tse.jus.br/imprensa/noticias-tse/arquivos/municipios-2-turno-eleicoes-2020/rybena_pdf?file=https://www.tse.jus.br/imprensa/noticias-tse/arquivos/municipios-2-turno-eleicoes-2020/at_download/file}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-11-16|title=Brazil's Municipal Elections 2020: 2nd round to be held in 57 cities|url=https://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/en/eleicoes-2020/noticia/2020-11/brazils-municipal-elections-2020-2nd-round-be-held-57-cities|access-date=2021-10-03|website=Agência Brasil|language=en|archive-date=3 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211003003927/https://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/en/eleicoes-2020/noticia/2020-11/brazils-municipal-elections-2020-2nd-round-be-held-57-cities|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Brazilian system works similarly to the [[mayor-council government]] in the United States.
