Government
The city has its own local government and legislative body. The mayor and members of representatives are locally elected by popular vote for a five-year term. The city government enjoys greater decentralisation of affairs than the provincial body, such as the provision of public schools, public health facilities, and public transportation. The current mayor of the city is Tri Rismaharini, the city's fourth female mayor, and has led Surabaya to achieve many regional, national and international awards since her first term began in 2010. In 2012, Surabaya was awarded the "Karimun Environmentally Sustainable City Award". Besides Mayor and Vice Mayor, there is Karimun Municipal People's Representative Council, which is a legislative body of 50 council members directly elected by the people in legislative elections every five years.
