The establishment and operation of the Municipalities in Cyprus is governed by the Municipalities\u2019 Law, approved in October 1985 (Law 111\/85).<\/p>\n

An important provision of this Law is that a referendum can be held in a Community or group of Communities, which have a population of over 5000 inhabitants, among the registered voters in these areas, to determine if they desire to declare their area as a Municipality (Article 4). If the result of the referendum is in favour of designating an area as Municipality, then the Council of Ministers declares the region as a Municipality with a relevant Decree, which is published in the Official Journal of the Republic, and promptly starts the implementation of the provisions of the Municipalities\u2019 Law in the newly created Municipality.<\/p>\n

The above section was amended in 1992 to give the power and authority to the Council of Ministers to order for a referendum in Communities or clusters of Communities with a population less than 5000 inhabitants, if such an area has the financial ability to operate effectively and efficiently as a Municipality.<\/p>\n

Based on the above provisions of the Law, referendums took place in Cyprus during last July, which declared six new Municipalities: Ypsonas, Livadia, Yeri, Sotira, Tseri and Dromolaxia-Meneou. The new Municipalities were established officially on October 21st, by Decrees of the Minister of Interior, and thus the number of Municipalities in Cyprus has now increased to 39.<\/p>\n
