New municipalities in the Dominican Republic proposed by Congress

The Dominican Republic Congress is currently considering dozens of legislative initiatives aimed at modifying the nation's territorial division. These proposals seek to establish new municipalities and provinces, potentially expanding upon the country's existing structure of 158 municipalities and 32 provinces. At least 26 such initiatives are currently under review by lawmakers. This legislative activity highlights an ongoing effort to reorganize the administrative and political geography of the country through the creation of additional local government entities.
