INFO MEMO
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
FROM: DouglasS, Peril, Under Secretary of Defense For Policy A 8(a)03 SUBJECT: Local (Municipal and Provincial) Councils in Iraq You asked how many city councils there are for villages, towns, and cities across Irag.
• There are 266 administrative units (municipalities and villages) in Iraq.
- The preponderance of those councils are elected or otherwise locally representative. CPA does not have a precise count.
- Based on CPA data, we estimate that at least 75% of Iraqis live under such councils.
• At the governorate (province) level, all but one of Iraq's eighteen governorates has an elected or representative council or legislature. A council selection process is planned for the last governorate, Al Muthanna.
• Therefore, with the exception of some residents of Al Muthanna (a small province containing about 2% of Iraq's people), all Iraqis live under an elected or representative local or provincial council.

MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
FROM: Douglas J. Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy 1/20/03 SUBJECT: Iraq City/Town Council Data My staff is collecting data on city and town councils in Iraq. For instance, in Baghdad, there are 88 neighborhood councils, 9 district councils, and 1 city council. Together, this represents 100% of the Baghdad population.
We are working on getting you nation-wide data. Right now, we only have data on 15 of the 18 provinces. (We are missing data on the three Kurdish provinces.) We will get this to you ASAP.
