Any representative of the government is, first of all, a person, the same as everyone else, so the mayor should ask questions like you would ask them to any other - not obsequious as a "master of the city", and not mockingly, like " one of the rogues sitting "upstairs". Then it is likely that they will answer your question and answer not “for the sake of a tick”, so as to get rid of the annoying citizen as soon as possible, but clearly and carefully, and your request will be granted.

First of all, the smaller the city, the easier it is to "get through" to its mayor. In small regional centers of the Russian regions, the head of the city, simply walking along the street, is not so rare. The mayor is also open for communication and “close to the people” during outdoor activities such as, for example, the opening of a new playground or regional competitions.
2
Do not forget about local television. City channels often practice “live broadcasts” with the mayor, the time of which becomes known in advance (mainly published on the city’s official portal and in the press close to the administration). However, it should be remembered that there are frequent cases when journalists do not immediately "let" the caller on the air, but first ask what question he wants to ask …
3
The reception of the mayor accepts written questions from the public. It is advisable to bring the paper in person and give it to the secretary to endorse the question (the deadlines for a mandatory response to citizens' appeals within a certain number of days are set).
However, sometimes representatives of the authorities quickly respond to urgent questions asked in the "feedback" section on the official administration portal.
note
Most willingly, city heads answer questions on landscaping, preferably personally asked by "delegations" (for example, residents of one entrance), making an appointment.
Helpful advice
If your questions are very topical and concern a large number of people, enlist the support of local media journalists and representatives of the mayor’s press service, presenting the essence of the issue as an interesting topic for reporting.
