Palestinian Village council

A Village council is a type of local government used in the Palestinian Authority localities that usually number between 800 and 3,000+ inhabitants. The village council is also known D-level municipalities.^{[citation needed]} There are 355 village councils in Palestine.^[1]

Village councils could consist of three to eleven members, including a chairman, a deputy chairman and secretary. The chairman is the head of the council. Unlike municipalities, village councils do not hold elections; rather, the representatives of a village's largest clans choose a chairman who is then appointed by the Local Government Minister of the Palestinian National Authority.^{[citation needed]}
