Bucerias is a beautiful coastal town located in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. Like all the other towns in Mexico, it is governed by a hierarchical system of government structure that follows the federal structure adopted by the national government of Mexico.

At the federal level, the Mexican government has three branches - legislative, executive, and judiciary. The legislative branch consists of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, while the executive branch is headed by the president. The judiciary branch is made up of judges and courts across the country. All these branches have their direct or indirect influence on the governance of Bucerias.

However, at the municipal level, Bucerias has its own government structure, which is well-defined and consists of the mayor, the municipal council, and the local administrative officials. The mayor is the highest authority who leads the government and is responsible for the overall management of the town. The mayor is elected by the people of the town and has a four-year term.

The municipal council, on the other hand, is responsible for the enactment, implementation, and modification of the laws that regulate the daily life of the citizens of Bucerias. The council comprises of 10 councilors, who are also elected by the people of the town and have a three-year term.

The administrative officials are appointed by the mayor and are responsible for the day-to-day running of the town. They also assist the mayor in making important decisions and are accountable to the mayor.

In addition, Bucerias also has local citizen committees that were created to ensure participation of the public in decision-making and to provide a platform for discussing and resolving local issues. These committees work closely with the municipal government and are responsible for identifying and addressing issues that impact the residents of Bucerias.

Overall, the government structure of Bucerias is well-organized, streamlined, and has put in place measures to ensure that the citizens' interests are represented and protected.
