Government
editThe Zaporizhzhia City Council (and the city of Zaporizhzhia itself), is governed by a mayor, who is elected every four years in local Ukrainian elections. The last election took place in 2015, and saw the election of independent candidate Volodymyr Buriak as mayor.[4][5]
The municipality's legislative branch is the city council, which consists of 90 locally-elected deputies.[6]
Administrative divisions
editThe Zaporizhzhia City Council contains a total of seven administrative raions (districts):[7]
- Zavodskyi District
- Khortytskyi District
- Komunarskyi District
- Dniprovskyi District

The former urban-type settlement of Teplychne (Ukrainian: Тепличне) was previously a settlement council and an administrative unit of the Shevchenko Raion, although it was annexed to Zaporizhzhia's city limits based on a resolution of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Council dated 23 April 2009.[8]
