A canton is a tertiary subdivision of Ecuador, below provinces. Cantons are subdivided into parishes (parroquias). The province with most cantons is Guayas (28 cantons). Generally, the provinces in the Amazon basin have fewer cantons than others.

[edit] Authorities

In each canton there is a jefe político, chosen by the president, who represents him. There are also a mayor (alcalde) and a municipal council (concejo municipal), chosen by popular vote.
