Local government system

Section 7(1) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(1) The system of local government by democratically elected local government councils is under this Constitution guaranteed; and accordingly, the Government of every State shall, subject to section 8 of this Constitution, ensure their existence under a Law which provides for the establishment, structure, composition, finance and functions of such councils.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
