Victorian Councils generally elect a Mayor, and in most cases a Deputy Mayor, for 12 months. The City of Melbourne is an exception, with a directly elected Lord Mayor.

Greater Shepparton, Indigo and Greater Geelong elected a mayor for a two year term in 2024.

Moira Shire Council is under administration until 2028 and does not currently have elected representatives.
