Per savivaldybių tarybas ir savivaldybių merus · Through municipal councils and municipal mayors

English: Through which institutions is the right to self-government implemented?

Tai galiojanti 119 straipsnio redakcija. Oficialus angliškas puslapis dar neatspindi 2022 m. pakeitimo dėl savivaldybių merų, todėl angliškas klausimo tekstas yra lietuviško klausimo paaiškinamoji atitiktis, o ne oficialios angliškos redakcijos citata.

This is the current wording of Article 119. The official English page does not yet reflect the 2022 mayoral amendment, so the English question is an explanatory counterpart to the Lithuanian question, not a quotation from the official English text.

Ketveriems metams · Four years

English: For what term are members of municipal councils and municipal mayors elected?

Jie renkami visuotine, lygia ir tiesiogine rinkimų teise, slaptu balsavimu; merais gali būti renkami Lietuvos Respublikos piliečiai.

They are elected by universal, equal, and direct suffrage by secret ballot; municipal mayors are elected from among citizens of the Republic of Lithuania.

Laisvai ir savarankiškai · Freely and independently

English: How do municipalities act within the competence defined by the Constitution and laws?

Konstitucijoje taip pat nustatyta, kad valstybė remia savivaldybes.

The Constitution also provides that the State supports municipalities.

Įstatymo numatytose ribose ir tvarka nustatyti vietines rinkliavas · To establish local levies within the limits and according to the procedure provided for by law

English: What right do municipal councils have in relation to local levies?

Savivaldybės sudaro ir tvirtina savo biudžetą, o jo sąskaita tarybos gali numatyti mokesčių bei rinkliavų lengvatas.

Municipalities draft and approve their budgets, and councils may provide tax and levy concessions at the expense of their own budgets.

Į teismą · To a court

English: Where may municipal councils and municipal mayors apply regarding a violation of their rights?

Galiojanti lietuviška redakcija aiškiai apima ir savivaldybių merus; oficialus angliškas puslapis tebepateikia ankstesnę redakciją, kurioje minimos tik tarybos.

The current Lithuanian wording expressly includes municipal mayors; the official English page still presents the earlier wording mentioning only councils.

Vyriausybės skiriami atstovai · Representatives appointed by the Government

English: Who supervises whether municipalities observe the Constitution and laws and execute Government decisions?

Vyriausybės atstovo įgaliojimus ir jų vykdymo tvarką nustato įstatymas.

The powers of a Government representative and the procedure for their exercise are established by law.

Seimas · The Seimas

English: Who may temporarily introduce direct rule in a municipality in cases and according to the procedure provided for by law?

Aukštesniuosiuose administraciniuose vienetuose valdymą įstatymo nustatyta tvarka organizuoja Vyriausybė.

At higher-level administrative units, governance is organised by the Government according to the procedure established by law.

Teisme · Before a court

English: Where may acts or actions of municipal councils and municipal mayors that violate the rights of citizens or organisations be appealed?

Galiojanti lietuviška redakcija mini tarybas ir merus. Oficialus angliškas puslapis dar pateikia ankstesnį subjektų sąrašą.

The current Lithuanian wording mentions councils and mayors. The official English page still presents the earlier list of municipal actors.
