After updating the Charter of Yaroslavl, the mayor of the city will be determined by a new procedure

Since September 29, a new version of the city Charter officially operates in Yaroslavl. The document was adopted by municipal deputies on September 16, after which the necessary registration in the regional department of the Ministry of Justice passed.

At the same time, the general structure of the city authorities remained the same. It includes the municipality, the mayor, the city hall and the Chamber of Control and Accounts. The number of deputies has not changed: the municipality consists of 38 people elected in single-member constituencies for a five-year term. The next elections of deputies should be held in September 2027.

The changes affected the procedure for determining the head of the city. For Yaroslavl, which is the regional center, it is planned to elect the mayor by the municipality from among the candidates represented by the governor of the region. The term of office of the mayor is set at five years.

The new rules will be applied after the resignation of Artem Molchanov. Temporarily, the duties of the head of Yaroslavl are performed by Nikolai Stepanov. Thus, the next head of the city will be determined in accordance with the updated provisions of the Charter.
