«La Constitución garantiza la autonomía de los municipios. Estos gozarán de personalidad jurídica plena. Su gobierno y administración corresponde a sus respectivos Ayuntamientos, integrados por los Alcaldes y los Concejales. Los Concejales serán elegidos por los vecinos del municipio mediante sufragio universal, igual, libre, directo y secreto, en la forma establecida por la ley. Los Alcaldes serán elegidos por los Concejales o por los vecinos. La ley regulará las condiciones en las que proceda el régimen del concejo abierto.»
