===Government===
The municipality (''la Municipalité'') constitutes the executive government of the City of Lausanne and operates as a collegiate authority. It is composed of seven councilors ({{langx|fr|link=no|conseiller municipal/conseillère municipale}}), each presiding over a directorate. One of the members act as mayor (''syndic''). In the mandate period 2021–2026 (''la législature'') the Municipality is presided by le Syndic Grégoire Junod. Directoral tasks, coordination measures and implementation of laws decreed by the Communal Council are carried by the Municipality. The regular election of the Municipality by any inhabitant valid to vote is held every five years. Any resident of Lausanne allowed to vote can be elected as a member of the Municipality.
