A Village council is a type of local government used in the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) for Palestinian localities that usually number between 800 and 3,000+ inhabitants.
There are 220 village councils in the Palestinian territories.
Village councils could consist of three to eleven members, including a chairman, a deputy chairman and secretary.
Unlike municipalities, village councils do not hold elections; rather, the representatives of a village's largest clans choose a chairman who is then appointed by the Local Government Minister of the Palestinian National Authority.
