The organisation of municipalities in Spain is outlined by the local government law Ley 7/1985, de 2 de abril, Reguladora de las Bases del Régimen Local (Template:Translation), which was passed by the Cortes Generales—Spain’s national parliament—on 2 April 1985Template:Sfn and finalised by royal decree on 18 April 1986.Template:Sfn Municipalities in Albacete are also governed by the Template:Ill, which includes provisions concerning their relations with Castilla–La Mancha's autonomous government.Template:Sfn All citizens of Spain are required to register in the municipality in which they reside.Template:Sfn Each municipality is a corporationTemplate:Refn with independent legal personhood: its governing body is called the ayuntamiento (municipal council or corporation),Template:Sfn a term often also used to refer to the municipal offices (city and town halls). The ayuntamiento is composed of the mayor (Template:Langx), the deputy mayors (tenientes de alcalde) and the councillors (concejales), who form the plenary (pleno), the deliberative body.Template:Sfn Municipalities are categorised by population for determining the number of councillors: three when the population is up to 100 inhabitants, five for 101Template:Ndash250, seven for 251Template:Ndash1,000, nine for 1,001Template:Ndash2,000, eleven for 2,001Template:Ndash5,000, thirteen for 5,001Template:Ndash10,000, seventeen for 10,001Template:Ndash20,000, twenty-one for 20,001Template:Ndash50,000, and twenty-five for 50,001Template:Ndash100,000. One councillor is added for every additional 100,000 inhabitants, with a further one included if the total would otherwise be even, to avoid tied votes.Template:Sfn

The mayor and the deputy mayors are elected by the plenary assembly, which is itself elected by universal suffrage.Template:Sfn Elections in municipalities with more than 250 inhabitants are carried out following a proportional representation system with closed lists,Template:Sfn whilst those with a population lower than 250 use a block plurality voting system with open lists.Template:Sfn The plenary assembly must meet periodically, with meetings occurring more or less frequently depending on the population of the municipality: monthly for those whose population is larger than 20,000, once every two months if it ranges between 5,001 and 20,000, and once every three months if it does not exceed 5,000.Template:Sfn Many ayuntamientos also have a local governing board (Template:Langx), which is appointed by the mayor from amongst the councillors and is required for municipalities of over 5,000 inhabitants.Template:Sfn The board, whose role is to assist the mayor between meetings of the plenary assembly, may not include more than one third of the councillors.Template:Sfn
