- 1市長職位；市長任期
Mayoralty means either the job of being mayor, or the stretch of time while someone holds that job. You do not call the person a mayoralty; the person is the mayor. You might say “during her mayoralty” meaning “while she was mayor”, or “he was elected to the mayoralty” meaning he got the post. It is a formal, official word — you meet it in newspapers, history books, and town-hall language, not in chat. Though actually, many people just say “when she was mayor” or “the mayor's term”, which is clearer for everyday talk. The idea is the same as presidency for a president: the office, not the human.
