The City Election Committee is responsible for managing the elections and determining the election results. It negotiates and makes decisions in public meetings. Its tasks include the approval or rejection of election proposals. After the election, it also checks the election records of the election committees for correctness and completeness and is responsible for determining and establishing the final election result for the mayoral election or any new mayoral election.
The election committee consists of the chairperson and five assessors. It is made up of eligible voters and municipal employees and was to be elected by the City Council. The parties and voters' associations represented in the municipality should be given appropriate consideration when appointing the election committee. The members of the municipal election committee work on an honorary basis. They may not be members of any other electoral body for the 2013 mayoral election or the 2013 mayoral re-election and may not themselves be candidates or representatives or deputy representatives for nominations for the corresponding elections.
The City Election Committee will continue to exist after the election until all work has been completed.
