The municipal council is the executive body. The satisfaction of the residents is important to us - within the framework of what is legally possible. The municipal council in Visp consists of 9 members, with the mayor serving in a semi-official capacity and all other council members in a part-time capacity. The municipal council is elected according to the proportional representation system. The mayor and vice-president are elected by majority vote at the same time.
