The SÃÂndic d'Aran (Occitan for 'Aran Syndic') is the head of government of the Val d'Aran, an autonomously governed region within the Province of Lleida of Catalonia, Spain. The SÃÂndic leads the thirteen-member Conselh Generau d'Aran, the governing body of the region. The office of SÃÂndic d'Aran and the larger autonomous government were created in June 1991.
The SÃÂndic d'Aran is elected by the members of the Conselh Generau d'Aran. To be elected as SÃÂndic, a candidate must win either an absolute majority in the first vote or a simple majority in the second round. Successful candidates serve a four-year term in office.
