However, the council may meet in an extraordinary session at the request of the Mayor. The councils of municipal districts meet every month in the presence of elected officials and representatives of the administrations concerned with the items on the agenda.

After the revolution of January 14, 2011, most municipal councils in Tunisia were dissolved and replaced by special delegations, as stipulated in Article 12 of the aforementioned Organic Law on Municipalities.

The municipal council meets four times a year according to the following schedule:

• February Session
• May Session
• July Session
• November Session

The Council may also call an extraordinary session at the request of the Mayor.

The Council’s deliberations are public, and the Municipal Council may decide to deliberate in a closed session on certain agenda items at the request of the President of the Council, one-third of the members, or the Governor or their representative. The date of the municipal council meeting must be posted on the door of the municipality.
