The legislative body of the Comune is the City Council (''Consiglio Comunale''), which is composed of 36 councillors elected every five years with a proportional system, contextually to the mayoral elections. The executive body is the City Administration (''Giunta Comunale''), composed of 12 [[Assessor (Italy)|assessors]] nominated and presided over by a directly elected [[Mayor of Venice|Mayor]].

Venice was governed by [[Centre-left coalition (Italy)|centre-left]] parties from the early 1990s until the 2010s, when the Mayor started to be elected directly. Its region, [[Veneto]], has long been a conservative stronghold, with the coalition between the regionalist [[Lega Nord]] and the [[Centre-right coalition (Italy)|centre-right]] [[Forza Italia (2013)|Forza Italia]] winning absolute majorities of the electorate in many elections at local, national, and regional levels.

The current mayor of Venice is [[Luigi Brugnaro]], a centre-right independent businessman who is currently serving his second term in office.

The municipality of Venice is also subdivided into six administrative boroughs (''municipalità''). Each borough is governed by a council (''Consiglio'') and a president, elected every five years. The urban organization is dictated by Article 114 of the [[Constitution of Italy|Italian Constitution]]. The boroughs have the power to advise the Mayor with nonbinding opinions on a large spectrum of topics (environment, construction, public health, local markets) and exercise the functions delegated to them by the City Council; in addition, they are supplied with autonomous funding to finance local activities.
