Governors in Venezuela are in charge of the government and administration of each state.
The governor can be elected for a term of four years by a majority vote.
Governors give a yearly public accounting to the State Comptroller for their office, and submit a report on the same to the Legislative Council and the Public Policy Planning and Coordination Council.
In each state exists a Public Policy Planning and Coordination Council, chaired by the governor with members from the mayors, the state directors of the various ministries and representatives of the legislators elected by the State to the National Assembly, as well as representatives from the Legislative Council, the municipal councils and organized communities, including native communities where they exist.
