:''This is a sub-article to Białystok'' Białystok, like other major cities in Poland, is a city county ((ポーランド語:powiat grodzki)).〔Dz.U. z 1998 r. nr 91, poz. 578〕 The Legislative power in the city is vested in the unicameral Białystok City Council ((ポーランド語:Rada Miasta)), which has 28 members.〔(Statut Miasta Białegostoku ) 〕 Council members are elected directly every four years, one of whom is the mayor, or President of Białystok ((ポーランド語:President)).〔 Like most legislative bodies, the City Council divides itself into committees which have the oversight of various functions of the city government.〔 Bills passed by a simple majority are sent to the mayor, who may sign them into law.〔 If the mayor vetoes a bill, the Council has 30 days to override the veto by a two-thirds majority vote.〔 The current President of Białystok, elected for his first term in 2006, is Tadeusz Truskolaski.〔''(Prezydent miasta, zastępcy )'' ("Białystok City Mayor, Deputy"). Retrieved 2009-07-16.〕 It is also the seat of government for the Podlaskie Voivodeship. The city is represented by several members of both houses of the Polish Parliament (Sejm and Senat) from the Białystok constituency. Białystok is represented by the Podlaskie and Warmian-Masurian constituency of the European Parliament. ==Governance== The last municipal elections were won by Civic Platform, which holds a majority of the seats in the City Council. The current city mayor, Tadeusz Truskolaski, won the elections as the Civic Platform's candidate, however, he has no official connection with the party. Platform's major opponents, Law and Justice, have a minority of the seats in the City Council and were running the city administration before 2006. Former Presidents of Białystok include: * Lech Rutkowski (1990–1994)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='' )〕 * Andrzej Lussa (1994–1995) * Krzysztof Jurgiel (1995–1998) * Ryszard Tur (1998–2006) The responsibilities of Białystok’s president include drafting and implementing resolutions, enacting city bylaws, managing the city budget, employing city administrators, and preparing against floods and natural disasters. The president fulfills his duties with the help of the City Council, city managers and city inspectors. In 2007 the city authorities established the Youth City Council, which is a self-governing body of adolescents living in Białystok and learning in secondary schools in the city. Youth Council is a non-political consultative body for local government bodies.〔Uchwała Nr XIX/197/07 Rady Miasta Białegostoku z dnia 26 listopada 2007 roku〕 The city's official symbols include a coat of arms, a flag and a seal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Governance of Białystok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
