The Rogfast tunnel system is currently being built during the 2020s to connect Kvitsøy to the mainland road network via the European route E39 highway.

The official blazon is "Azure, three lighthouses argent, two over one" (Norwegian: I blått tre sølv fyrlykter, 2-1).

The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Kvitsøy is made up of 17 representatives that are elected to four year terms.

The mayors (Norwegian: ordfører) of Kvitsøy (incomplete list): The municipality is an archipelago located at the entrance to the large Boknafjorden.

It sits about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) northwest of the mainland Stavanger peninsula and south of the islands of Karmøy and Vestre Bokn.

The islands are completely engulfed by the Gulf Stream and hence have a typically wet West Nordic coastal climate.

Some are natural to Norwegian flora, while others have been transported by ships emptying their hulls of ballast before entering the port of the nearby city of Stavanger.
