The City is governed by the Mayor and City Council with the assistance of various departments, agencies and commissions.

The Charter provides for a mayor-council type of municipal system, the Mayor being the executive branch and the Council the legislative. The City takes official action through the passage of ordinances and resolutions. A Mayor and three At-Large Councilpersons are elected by City residents every four years. The City has ten wards and a councilperson is elected to represent each ward every two years. Members of Commissions are generally appointed by the Mayor, subject to the approval of the City Council. The Judicial branch of government is represented in Akron by The Akron Municipal Court. It serves the cities of Akron and Fairlawn; the townships of Bath, Richfield and Springfield; the Villages of Lakemore and Richfield; and that part of Mogadore in Summit County, Ohio.
