The administration of the City of Alstin is formed of two tiers: a citywide, strategic tier and a local tier. Citywide administration is the express prerogative of the Capital District government, while local administration is carried out by 42 smaller authorities. The District government, similar to the [[Government of Alstin|federal government]] and the various provinces, consists of three branches: an executive branch consisting of the Mayor of Alstin and his or her appointees which head executive departments; a legislative branch consisting of the unicameral District Assembly; and a judicial branch consisting of the Alstin Supreme Court and lower courts. | |||
The headquarters of the District government is Alstin City Hall, located in Leman. Since 2024 the mayor has been Beverley Renton, the first mayor of direct-Audonian descent of a major Occidental capital. The mayor's statutory planning strategy is published as the Alstin Plan, which was most recently revised in 2023. The local authorities are the councils of the 42 Alstin boroughs, and are responsible for most local services, such as local planning, schools, social services, local roads and refuse collection; Services often provided through joint arrangements between the boroughs, as well as by funding from the District itself. | |||
