Comarcal council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The comarcal council (Catalan: consell comarcal, Galician: consello comarcal, Spanish: consejo comarcal), also somewhat misleadingly referred to as county council (see Comarca), is a local administration and government organ in the comarcas of some territories, such as the Spanish Autonomous Communities of Catalonia, Aragon and Galicia.

The comarcal council is normally constituted by the representatives of the municipalities within the comarcal demarcation, who are elected according to some defined mechanisms given by a promulgated law.
