==City administration==
Like other municipalities, the city is administered by a municipal council. Elections for the municipal council are held every four years, along with the other Velkanian local elections. Council seats are determined through closed-list proportional representation, much like elections to the Orthing are. Following the certification of the results, a majority coalition will form, whom then appoint the mayor. The mayor typically belongs to one of the member parties of the governing coalition, but is not a councilor themselves.
Following the 2020 local elections, a majority coalition between the Green-Socialist Party and Reform Party was solidified. The coalition then appointed Gréta Kristín Pálsdattir of the Green-Socialist Party to serve as mayor. The council also selects members of boards, with boards controlling different fields under the council's authority. The mayor is the senior public official and also the director of city operations. Other public officials control city institutions under the mayor's authority.
