It depends on the city and the country.
Common methods:
- Direct popular vote: eligible local voters elect the mayor in a citywide election (very common, e.g. many U.S. and Canadian cities).
- Elected by the city council: councillors choose one of their number (or an outside candidate) to serve as mayor—common where the mayor is mainly ceremonial or the city uses a council–manager system.
- Appointment by a higher authority: in some places a provincial/state or central government appoints the mayor (rare, usually for special circumstances).
- Indirect/varied systems: some places use runoff elections, proportional systems, or mixed rules.
If you tell me the city or country you mean, I can say exactly how that mayor is chosen.
