From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The province (Indonesian: provinsi or propinsi) is the highest tier of local government subnational entity in Indonesia. Each province has its own local government (Pemerintah Daerah Provinsi), headed by the governor (gubernur); and has its own legislative body (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah). The Governor and member of representatives are elected by popular vote for 5 years term.

Currently, Indonesia is divided into 33 provinces. Seven provinces were created since 2000. The last province added is West Sulawesi in September 2004.
