青少年市长选举是利物浦市独有的选举文化，以透过选举形式来让青少年人深入了解英国的选举制度以及代表利物浦市协助市长履行公益事务。

自2009年起，每年利物浦市都会产生24位年龄介乎7至19岁的青少年市长代表。他(她)们全都是透过利物浦市政府学生议会投票所选举出来的青少年市长，每位当选人在Liverpool Town Hall 宣誓就职之后便会正式获委任成为青少年市长，然后展开其一个月的任期。

In October 2009 Liverpool became the first authority in the UK to actively involve its children and young people in the civic process on a regular basis when 12 primary school children and 12 secondary school pupils were sworn in at Liverpool Town Hall as the city’s first Junior and Young Lord Mayors.

Each child takes part in civic life by shadowing the Lord Mayor for one month. This involves them accompanying the Lord Mayor to a number of civic and community event, ranging from services in one of the city’s magnificent cathedrals to judging a fancy dress competition.

All Junior and Young Lord Mayors are Members of Liverpool Schools’ Parliament. They must also give a speech before their fellow members who cast votes to decide who will be the lucky 24 for the next 12 months.
