The Municipal President of Mérida (or Mayor of Mérida in a colloquial sense, because in Mexico the term mayor is not considered as legal) is the person who presides the Municipal Council (Ayuntamiento) and the head-government of the municipality of Mérida, which includes the city of Mérida and its towns inside the municipality. The mayor is elected for a three-year term limited to serve one more term, after the 2015 Mexican constitutional reform. The mayor's office is seated at the Municipal Palace (or City Hall), located at downtown Mérida City.
