Districts of Slovakia

The districts of Slovakia are administrative units known as okres in the Slovak language.

It is a second-tier territorial administrative unit, below a Region in standing, and superior to a municipality.

Rural municipalities are not legally allowed to become district seats.

Districts have been units of state administration in Slovakia since its creation with a few interruptions, e. g. except for the period from 2004 to late 2013.

The following table gives an overview of the districts, along with the population, area, and location within Slovakia.
