The '''Government of Night City''', headquartered at the [[Night City City Hall]] in [[the Glen]], is the governmental body of the [[Night City|Free City of Night City]].

==Overview==
Night City is a democratic mayoralty with a corporate-controlled city council. In mayoral elections, votes are cast via a [[Data Term]] using IdentiCard registration software, and the winner of an election is determined by a simple majority of the popular vote. The Night City Council consists of 100 members, each of whom are usually backed by one of the top ten largest corporations present in Night City.

In 2045, during the [[Time of the Red]], Night City's government continued to exist in a technical state of emergency due to the destruction and disruption caused by the [[Night City Holocaust]] of 2023. The office of mayor had been left vacant for years, and the city was instead ruled by the City Council, which took the form of a junta representing survivors of the previous city government, edgerunner and nomad factions, and numerous corporations — including [[Zetatech]], [[Biotechnica]], [[Petrochem]], and secretly [[Arasaka]]. The Council appointed City Managers to oversee basic services in each of the city's districts and neighborhoods. Without a mayor or strong central leadership, friction between the Council's factions frequently led to disputes that were sometimes settled with violence on the streets. Since no single faction was able to gain a decisive advantage over the others, they all kept to their own areas of interest as much as possible to keep fighting to a minimum.<ref name="CPRED">{{RefCP|RED|240,256,258-259,269,274-314}}</ref>

During 2077, [[Georgina Zembinsky]] acted as the district attorney of Night City. At some point before her, [[Jefferson Peralez]] was the city's district attorney.

==Office of the Mayor==
{{Section}}
The mayor of Night City is the city's highest governing representative. They oversee the treasurer's office, the deputies to the mayor and directs the heads of the city's departments, such as the [[NCPD]] and the [[NCFD]]. They have the power to appoint department heads and commissioners as well as remove public officials from office. With every new mayor comes a new office and personnel.

The city's system of governance is based on the authority of the mayor in cooperation with the [[#Night City Council|City Council]]. Part of the mayor's proposals are subject to approval from the council.<ref name="MayorNet">Office of the Mayor of Night City [[Cyberpunk 2077 Netsites|netsite]]</ref>

==Night City City Managers==
The chaos [[Time of the Red]] forced Night City to become more of a decentralized power by creating the City Managers, elected by the Night City Council to represent one of the districts and neighborhoods in Night City. Although the [[Combat Zone (RED)|Combat Zones]] also had city managers, they had little control.

During the [[2040]]s, each manager was chosen by their fractious group was nominally in charge of their correspondent area, and, alongside the City Council, were in charge of local sections of the [[Data Pool]], zoning designations for corporations and neighborhoods, road infrastructure taxes, freelance private investigators and police licensing, and city contracts for construction and justice services.<ref name="CPRED" />
