ASPECTE PRIVIND ALEGEREA ȘI ELIBERAREA DIN FUNCȚIE A VICEPRIMARILOR CONSILIILOR LOCALE ȘI VICEPREȘEDINȚILOR CONSILIILOR JUDEȚENE

According to the Romanian laws in the matter, the President of Romania, the senators, the deputies, the presidents of the county councils, the mayors, the county counselors and the local counselors are elected by the people by direct vote. Instead, the vice-presidents of the county councils and the deputy mayors of the local councils shall be elected by the indirect vote of the representatives elected in the county councils and respectively, in the local councils. Examining this issue regulated in several laws successively amended and supplemented, which results in a series of confusions regarding the enforcement, the author concludes that it would be reasonable and advisable for the vice-presidents of the county councils and for the deputy mayors of the local councils to be elected by a direct vote.
