Malta is officially subdivided into 68 local councils by the Local Councils Act.

Since June 30, 1993, Malta has been subdivided into 68 localities, governed by local councils, Maltese: kunsilli lokali, meaning municipalities or boroughs, and considered by the Maltese as the equivalent to basic villages or towns, where appropriate. These form the most basic type of local government and are subdivisions of the country's first-level regions.

June 30 is the 181st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 184 days remain until the end of the year.
