Executive: Federal Parliament: Judiciary: Provinces of Nepal officially the Autonomous Nepalese Provinces (Nepali: स्वायत्त नेपाली प्रदेशहरू, romanized: Nepālkā Swayatta Pradeśharū) were formed on 20 September 2015 in accordance with Schedule 4 of the Constitution of Nepal.

A committee was formed to restructure administrative divisions of Nepal on 23 December 1956 and in two weeks, a report was submitted to the government.

In January 2016 the Government of Nepal announced temporary headquarters of the seven provinces.

The governor exercises the rights and duties as to be performed specified in the constitution or laws.

Since Nepal uses a parallel voting system, voters cast another ballot to elect members through the party-list proportional representation.
