In a democratic society, engaged and involved citizens are needed. The municipality is governed by politicians who are directly elected by the residents. The council is the highest decision-making body. The politicians make decisions on matters that affect your daily life, such as how the area will develop and how schools, early childhood education, roads, and more will be managed.

The municipality's task is to organize services for the residents.

The municipal director is the highest-ranking official in the municipality. They lead the work and represent the municipality. 

The municipality is democratic, which means the residents have the opportunity to influence and express their opinions. There are various ways to do this within the municipality.
