Municipalities in Zacatecas are administratively autonomous of the state according to the 115th article of the 1917 Constitution of Mexico.{{cite act |title=Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos |type= |number= |language=Spanish |date=1917 |article=115 |articletype=Article |page= |url=https://www.juridicas.unam.mx/legislacion/ordenamiento/constitucion-politica-de-los-estados-unidos-mexicanos#10668 |accessdate=September 27, 2017 }} Every three years, citizens elect a municipal president (Spanish: presidente municipal) by a plurality voting system who heads a concurrently elected municipal council (ayuntamiento) responsible for providing all the public services for their constituents. The municipal council consists of a variable number of trustees and councillors (regidores y síndicos).{{cite book |last=OECD |author-link=OECD |date=November 12, 2004|title=New Forms of Governance for Economic Development|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tBC7MYzs_woC&pg=PA121 |publisher=OECD Publishing |page=121 |isbn=9264015329 }} Municipalities are responsible for public services (such as water and sewerage), street lighting, public safety, traffic, and the maintenance of public parks, gardens and cemeteries.{{cite book |last=International Business Publications |date=2009 |title=Mexico Company Laws and Regulations Handbook |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ENsRpYrGTOQC |page=42 |publisher=International Business Publications, USA |isbn=978-1-4330-7030-3 }} They may also assist the state and federal governments in education, emergency fire and medical services, environmental protection and maintenance of monuments and historical landmarks.
