Editing Local government (section)

===Palestinian Authority===
Local government in the [[Palestinian National Authority]]-controlled areas are divided into three main groups: Municipal councils, village council and local development committees.
* [[Municipality (Palestinian Authority)]]: Depends on size of locality. Localities that serve as the centers of [[Governorates of the Palestinian National Authority|governorate]]s and populations over 15,000 have 15-member councils. Localities with populations over 15,000 residents have 13-member councils and localities with populations between 4,000 and 15,000 have 9-member councils.
* [[Village Council (Palestinian Authority)]]: Localities with populations between 800 and 1,500 have 3-member councils while those between 1,500 and −4,000 residents have 7-member councils.
