The city of Rome is governed by a popularly elected communal council, a communal committee (executive body), and a mayor. The mayor is elected directly through a two-round system. A two-round system is when you vote for someone, then they choose two people with the highest number of votes, then you vote out of those two people. The council is responsible for police, health services, and transportation. The areas around the city are governed by an elected provincial council, a provincial committee, and a committee president. Similarly, the government of the Lazio region comprises an elected regional council, a regional committee, and a committee president. The regional council passes laws and issues administrative regulations, subject to certain constitutional limitations, for the whole Lazio region.
