Kenya is divided into eight provinces (see map). The provinces are subdivided into 46 districts which are further subdivided into 262 divisions. The divisions are subdivided into 2,427 locations and then 6,612 sublocations.[1] A province is administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).

Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.

A third discrete type of classification are constituencies. They are further subdivided into wards.
