Talk:Administrative divisions of Myanmar

message: There are administrative divisions known as "Village tracts" which seem to be groups of villages.  This article should reflect these, but I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to do this.  For an example, see:    http://www.mizzima.com/news/inside-burma/5960-ward-village-tract-administrative-chiefs-to-be-appointed-by-superiors.html ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 (talk) 19:24, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

message: What level of administration are most cities/towns at in the hierarcy?  This needs to be made clear if city/town administrations exists at all in Myanmar. --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:25, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

text: As I see on Myanmar Information Management Unit, the Place codes structure put the towns between the townships and the wards. The constitution states that wards are organized as town or township Hackspp (talk) 07:34, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

text: I've added more complete information. Towns and Cities do not formally exist. Most towns are structured as wards or groups of wards. Cities are typically Subtownships (groups of wards). Bigger cities like Mandalay are administered as a District and Yangon overlaps across 4 different districts and 33 townships. Cities technically exist as the jurisdiction of the respective Development Committee within the State/Region government EmeraldRange (talk) 00:21, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

message: In Chapter II of the 2008 Constitution, it is stated that:
*The Union is delineated and constituted by seven Regions, seven States and the Union territories as follows: ...
*(h) If there are Self-Administrated Zone or Self-Administered Division in a Region or a State, those Self-Administered Divisions, Self-Administered Zones and Districts are organized as Region or State;
*(i) Regions, States and Union territories are organized as the Republic.
Doesn't it mean that self-administered zones and self-administered divisions are in the second level of hierarchy? --Potapt (talk) 00:09, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

message: Do the state and regional legislatures get to appoint the government/Chief Ministers?  For instance, how is it that the Rakhine State Government is headed by someone from the National League for Democracy when the Arakan National Party is the dominant party in the state?  Did the other parties and the military joing a coalition to keep them out of government, or is the government of the state chosen by the national government? --Criticalthinker (talk) 11:36, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Under the 2008 constitution, the chief ministers are chosen by the president from among elected or appointed MPs, regardless of which party holds a majority in the state. The nominee is then confirmed by the state and region parliaments. Ninja✮Strikers «☎» 19:08, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  Perhaps this is a fact worth adding to the article since it's not the usual way things are done in a parliamentary system. --Criticalthinker (talk) 10:49, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
