Manhattan is governed under a [[council-manager government|council-manager]] system, with a five-member [[city council|City Commission]]. Elections are [[Non-partisan democracy|nonpartisan]] and are held every other year, in odd-numbered years. Three City Commission positions are chosen in each election. The two highest vote recipients receive four-year terms, while the third highest vote recipient receives a two-year term. The highest vote winner in a general election is established to serve as mayor on the third year of a four-year term. The Mayor presides over Commission meetings, but has the same voting rights as other Commissioners and no veto power.  As of 2022, Linda Morse serves as the city's mayor.<ref>{{cite web |title=Meet the City Commission |publisher=City of Manhattan |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220424191148/https://cityofmhk.com/202/City-Commission |archive-date=April 24, 2022 |url=https://cityofmhk.com/202/City-Commission |access-date=May 24, 2022 }}</ref>
