Consejos Populares
In Cuba, a consejo popular (; ; sometimes shortened to CP) is an electoral ward or political-administrative demarcation of the National Assembly of People's Power of Cuba. They were created in 1988. 474 wards had been created as of 2023, with them changing frequently. They function as subdivisions, under municipalities. Under the wards are districts. All wards have at least 5 districts, with urban areas having more and rural areas having less. Most rural wards include 1 major town or village (usually with a population of 700-3,000 at least) with a few hamlets, while urban areas (usually municipal seat) are usually split into wards, named for the city with a I, II and sometimes III, and IV and so forth appended. Sometimes when only two wards are present in a city, they are split into "Norte" (or north) and "Sur" (or south). History Barrios Before the 1970s, instead of consejos populares, municipalities were divided into ''barrios''. Some barrios did end up as consejos popula ...
