Английская Википедия:Administrative divisions of Moldova
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Politics of Moldova According to the Moldovan law on territorial administrative organisation, Moldova is divided administratively into the following administrative territorial units: districts (Шаблон:Lang-ro; see also raions), cities/towns (Шаблон:Lang-ro) and villages (Шаблон:Lang-ro).[1] The administrative territorial organization of Moldova is made on 2 levels:[2][3]
- villages (communes), sectors and cities/towns (municipii) constitute the first level,
along with Chișinău municipality, Bălți municipality and Tighina municipality.
Two or more villages can form together a commune (Шаблон:Lang-ro).[4]
Currently, Moldova is divided into the following first-tier units,[5] which include 32 districts and 3 municipalities, grouped into three regions: Шаблон:Col-begin Шаблон:Col-break Northern Region
- Bălți Municipality
- Briceni
- Dondușeni
- Drochia
- Edineț
- Fălești
- Florești

- Rezina
- Șoldănești

- Tighina Municipality [6]
- Telenești
- Ungheni
Southern Region
Шаблон:Col-end two autonomous territorial units:
- Gagauzia (officially the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia, it lies in the Southern Region of Moldova)
- Left Bank of the Dniester (officially the Administrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester)
The final status of the latter has not been settled yet, as the region, such as defined administratively, in fact is not under the control of Moldovan authorities. The cities of Comrat and Tiraspol also have municipality status, but are not among first-tier units of Moldova; they are the seats of Gagauzia and Transnistria, respectively.Шаблон:Citation needed Besides Chișinău, Bălți, Tighina, Comrat, and Tiraspol, on 13 April 2017 eight more became municipalities: Cahul, Ceadîr-Lunga, Edineț, Hîncești, Orhei, Soroca, Strășeni, and Ungheni.[7]
Localities
Шаблон:See also Moldova has a total of 1,682 localities; from these 982 are incorporated (de jure with 982 mayors and 982 local councils), including 53 cities/towns, other 13 cities with municipality status (see municipiu), and 916 rural localities.[8] They cover the entire area of the country. A number of villages are self-governed, while others 700 villages are too small to have a separate administration, and are part of either cities/towns/municipalities (41 of them) or communes (659). Few localities are inhabited.
Current divisions
In the administrative-territorial structure of Moldova are 898 first level administrative territorial units (cities/towns, sectors and villages/communes).[9]
The status of Chișinău, Bălți, and Tighina as municipalities and first-level territorial units of the country allows their suburb villages to have, when large enough, their own mayor and local council. By contrast, the villages that are administratively part of (some of) the other cities do not retain self-rule.

Notes
Areas not under central government control include:
- Transnistria, which with the exception of six communes (comprising a total of ten localities) corresponds to the geographic part of Moldova situated to the east of the Dniestr (Romanian: Nistru) river, is de jure a part of Moldova, but in fact is governed by breakaway authorities (see also: War of Transnistria). The city of Dubăsari (geographically and administratively in Transnistria, and not in the Dubăsari District), and six communes (administratively in the Dubăsari District of Moldova, and not in the administrative definition of Transnistria), all controlled by the central authorities (except the village of Roghi in commune Molovata Nouă, which is controlled by Tiraspol), form the northern part of the security zone set at the end of the war.
- Tighina municipality (the city itself, plus the commune Proteagailovca), and three communes (five localities) of Căușeni District (Gîsca, Chițcani, and Cremenciug) are de facto controlled by the breakaway regime of Transnistria. Together with the commune Varnița of Anenii Noi District and the commune Copanca of Căușeni District under Moldovan control, these localities form the southern part of the security zone set at the end of the war. The city of Tighina has both a Moldovan police force (mostly symbolic) and a Transnistrian militsiya force (practically in charge in most instances). In Transnistria, Tighina is known as Bender.
Population
- The smallest entity electing a mayor is the commune of Salcia, in Taraclia District (population 441). It consists of the village of Salcia, population 382, and the village of Orehovca, population 59. The largest entity is the municipality of Chișinău, electing a mayor for 712,218 inhabitants.
- The largest number of localities governed by a single commune or city government in Moldova is 6. This is the case for:
- city of Anenii Noi, population 11,463, of which 3,105 in the 5 suburban villages
- commune Copăceni, Sîngerei District, population 3,315
- commune Natalievca, Fălești District, population 2,231
- commune Tătărăuca Veche, Soroca District, population 2,203
- On the opposite end, 42 of the 66 cities, and about half the communes of Moldova have local administration providing services for a single locality.
- There are four or five localities in Moldova with a zero population:
- village Armanca, commune Vasileuți, Rîșcani District
- village Chetrișul Nou, commune Chetriș, Fălești District
- village Pelinia, loc. st. c. f., commune Pelinia, Drochia District
- village Stălinești, commune Corestăuți, Ocnița District
- The village of Schinoasa was outlined within commune Țibirica, Călărași District in 2007, and information is not available yet whether it has any population.
- Village (hamlet) Ivanovca, commune Natalievca, Fălești District, population 19, inhabited by 14 Russians and 5 Ukrainians, is the only inhabited locality in Moldova without any ethnic Moldovans. On the opposite end, one commune, Cigîrleni, Ialoveni District, population 2,411, and 42 villages of sub-commune level (population varying from 1 to 673), have a 100% Moldovan population.
Coincidal names

- A town Mărculești, and a different commune Mărculești, both situated in the Florești District
- A city Dondușeni, and a different commune Dondușeni, both situated in the Dondușeni District
- A city Drochia, and a different commune Drochia, both situated in the Drochia District
