When the population of a fortress reaches 50, the [[Expedition leader]] becomes the Mayor.

After a period of time, the fortress's dwarves may elect a new Mayor, who will demand the rooms accordingly. The former Mayor will revert to the job they had previously and will no longer require those rooms. Becoming Mayor gives a happy thought.
  
The mayor is a [[Noble]] whose job it is to speak with disgruntled workers and entertain foreign diplomats. He or she is automatically created from the [[Expedition leader]] once the population reaches 50, although a new mayor will be elected from time to time.
+
The Mayor will listen to complaints of the other dwarves - this will give the complainer a happy [[thought]], while giving the mayor an unhappy one.
  
Every other year{{verify}}, during the 3rd week of Hematite, the fortress's [[dwarves]] will elect a new Mayor, who will demand improved [[room|accommodations]] accordingly. The former Mayor will revert to the profession they had previously and will no longer require those rooms. Becoming Mayor gives a happy [[thought]]. Dwarves currently in the military are not eligible to be elected as mayor. The amount of [[friends]] a [[dwarf]] may be the main factor in his election to the office of Mayor. However, there is a random element to it, and so it is quite possible for a dwarf with no [[social skill]]s and fewer friends to be elected over a dwarf who has either or both.

 +
It is still possible for a dwarf with no [[social skills]] to be elected over a dwarf who has them.
  
A Mayor will sometimes make [[mandate]]s, which can include banning [[trade|exports]] or producing certain [[goods]].  If a new Mayor is elected when a mandate is in effect, that mandate will be cancelled (and no dwarves will be punished for not meeting it).
