Administrative Divisions Of Cape Verde
The territory of Cape Verde is divided into 22 ''concelhos'' (municipalities), and subdivided into 32 ''freguesias'' (equivalent to civil parish). In Portuguese language usage, there are two words to distinguish the territory and the administrative organ. Administratively, right below the government, there are the ''municípios'' (municipalities), which administer the ''concelhos''. Therefore, the ''concelhos'' are the first-level administrative subdivision in Cape Verde. Each municipality has an '' Assembleia Municipal'' (municipal assembly, the legislative body) and a ''Câmara Municipal'' (municipal chamber, the executive body). Every four years elections are held for the Assembleia Municipal, the Câmara Municipal and the President of the Câmara Municipal. Where a municipality consists of several ''freguesias'' (civil parishes), a ''Delegação Municipal'' (municipal delegation) is established in the parishes that do not contain the municipal seat.
