Districts Of Switzerland
Districts of Switzerland are a political subdivision for cantons. In the federally constituted Switzerland, each canton is completely free to decide its own internal organisation.

Most cantons are divided into ''Bezirke'' (German for districts, singular ''Bezirk''). They are also termed ''Ämter'' ( Lucerne, singular ''Amt''), ''Amtsbezirke'' ( Bern, ''Amtsbezirk''), ''district'' (in French) or ''distretto'' (Ticino and part of Graubünden). The ''Bezirke'' generally provide only administration and court organization. However, for historical reasons districts in cantons Graubünden and Schwyz are their own legal entities with jurisdiction over tax and often have their own Landsgemeinde.
