Municipal Corporations or
municipalities (also known as pourasabha) are the
local governing bodies of the cities and towns in
Bangladesh. There are 330 such municipal corporations in eight divisions of Bangladesh. A municipal corporation serving a town may be called a
town council, and a municipal corporation serving a city is styled a
city council; these bodies are divided into wards, which are further divided into
mauzas and
mahallas. Direct elections are held for each ward, electing a chairperson and a number of members. The municipal heads are elected for a span of five years.
