City Council of Tampere (Finnish: Tampereen kaupunginvaltuusto) is the highest decision-making organ of Tampere. It consists of 67 members who are elected every four years in the municipal election.[1]
The council meets at the Tampere City Central Office Building (sometimes called "The White House") in the city centre. The meetings take place almost always on Mondays.[2] The meetings are sent on radio by Radio Moreeni.[3]
The National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party have been in a local alliance since the municipal election of 2008, which means they form one unified council group.[4]
