Mexican municipalities are the smallest administrative divisions in Mexico, functioning as local governments. Each municipality is governed by a municipal president and a council, responsible for local services such as education, public safety, and infrastructure. There are over 2,400 municipalities across the country, varying in size and population. Municipalities are grouped into states, with each state having its own unique number of municipalities. They play a crucial role in the political and social organization of Mexico, allowing for local governance that addresses the specific needs of communities. This structure helps ensure that citizens have a voice in local decision-making.
