===Government===
The City Council (de: '''Stadtrat''') constitutes the [[executive (government)|executive]] government of the town of Schaffhausen and operates as a [[collegiate authority]]. It is composed of five councilors ({{langx|de|Stadtrat/Stadträtin}}), each presiding over a department (''Referat''), which each consists of several administrative districts. The president of the executive department acts as [[mayor]] (''Stadtpräsident(in)''). In the mandate period January 2025 – December 2028 (''Amtsdauer'') the City Council is presided by ''Stadtpräsident'' [[Peter Neukomm]]. Departmental tasks, coordination measures and implementation of laws decreed by the Grand City Council (parliament) are carried by the City Council. The regular election of the City Council by any inhabitant valid to vote is held every four years. Any resident of Schaffhausen allowed to vote can be elected as a member of the City Council. The mayor is elected as such as well by public election while the heads of the other directorates are assigned by the collegiate. The mayor as well as the delegates are elected by means of a system of [[Majorz]].<ref name=SR>{{cite web |url=https://www.stadt-schaffhausen.ch/derstadtrat/28652 |title=Stadtrat |publisher=Stadt Schaffhausen |type=official site |language=de |location=Schaffhausen, Switzerland |date=2025 |access-date=2025-02-18}}</ref>
