Each province is represented by one of Elestiyanj's political parties. The party representing the province is decided by the majority party voted in the province during presidential elections.

The party that represents the province has a Provincial Council office in the province's capital, and has some authority in the province - all decisions must be confirmed with the province's party leader, then the leading party of Elestiyanj before they are executed within the province.

There is no singular leader for provinces, instead, a branch of the party turns into the Provincial Council. Decisions are made by votes within the council.

Elections
Elections always happen on Election Day, which is 17th of January. Provinces are divided into Electoral Regions.

The votes are counted by people from each Electoral Region, and then passed onto the government, who add the votes together and find out what the results are.
