Advisor of Citizen Affairs/Citizen Affairs Advisor
We cant just say "citizens"and leave it at that. Citizen's advisor sounds like a hired official BY/OR FOR the citizens. Just like a dept of Students Affairs in a school, this position belongs to a dept in an institution/here, a government.
Within this context , unless there is a term in a specific country, this translation is as close as it gets.

: But we can say Citizen Advisor and leave it at that. We do not have to add invented words.

thks for you feedback. BUt the word affairs is not invention or a redundancy in this case. It is a word that conveys that truly reflects the duties of such a person holding this post. Citizens' Advisor would be -at its best- a very literal translation

: On the one hand it sounds a little pompous, one the other hand there are countries which have e.g. a Ministry of Inner Affairs and others which have a Ministry of (the) Interior. There's a difference in term, but not in the function.

In the same way, we would say Patient Advisor, not Patients Advisor. Or Student Advisor.

Citizen's Advisor
Most common usage of this phrase in English is in the context of a group (Citizen's Advisory Board, Committee, Panel, Task Force, etc. Sp. Consejo or Comité Asesor Ciudadano). This is far the most common variant (i.e. citizen's, as opposed to citizens', citizens, or citizen).
