There are no first-order administrative divisions as defined by the United States Government, but Puerto Rico has 78 municipalities at the second order. They are conveniently grouped into eight electoral districts, which do not possess administrative functions. In 1991, the Autonomous Municipalities of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico law was created as a strategy for the decentralizing and the improving government services to the people. In recent years, several mayors have demanded a revision of the law.
The municipios elect an alcalde and a legislative assembly in the general elections every 4 years.
