Communes of Chile Totally Explained

Everything about Communes Of Chile totally explained

A commune (Spanish: comuna) is the smallest administrative subdivision in Chile and may contain cities, towns, villages, hamlets as well as rural areas. In highly populated areas such as some cities, there may be no practical distinction between the city and the commune which contains it. In sparsely populated areas, a commune may contain substantial rural area together with several settled areas which could range from hamlets to towns or cities.
Each commune is governed by a directly-elected body or municipality (municipalidad), consisting of one mayor (alcalde) and a group of councilmen (concejales), for a period of four years. According to Chilean law, a single municipality may administer one or more communes. Currently, the only such case is the municipality of Cabo de Hornos, which administers the communes of Antártica and Cabo de Hornos.
Chile's 346 communes are grouped into 53 provinces, which are themselves grouped into 15 regions.
