[[Alicante (province)|Alicante]] (''Alacant'' in Valencian) is a [[provinces of Spain|province]] in the [[Autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Valencia (autonomous community)|Valencia]], Spain, that is divided into 141 [[Municipalities of Spain|municipalities]]. {{as of|2023|pre=the}} Spanish census, the province is the [[Ranked lists of Spanish provinces#Population and geography|5th largest by population]], with {{nts|1952291}} inhabitants,<ref>{{cite web|title=Censo anual de población 2021-2023. Cifras de población. Principales resultados. 2021-2023. Población según comunidad autónoma y provincia y sexo|url=https://www.ine.es/up/IM0DtytHiG|publisher=[[National Statistics Institute (Spain)|National Statistics Institute]]|access-date=27 May 2024|language=es}}</ref> and the 41st largest by land area, spanning {{convert|5817|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}.<ref name="landarea"/> Municipalities are the basic local political division in Spain,{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=11}} and can only belong to one province.{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=14}} They enjoy a large degree of autonomy in their local administration, being in charge of tasks such as urban planning, water supply, lighting, roads, local police, and firefighting.{{sfn|BOE|1985|pp=22-23}}

The organisation of municipalities in Spain is outlined in a [[local government]] law ({{langx|es|Ley 7/1985, de 2 de abril, Reguladora de las Bases del Régimen Local}}; {{Translation|Law 7/1985, of 2 April, Regulating the Bases of the Local Administration}}) passed on 2 April 1985{{sfn|BOE|1985}} and finalised by an 18 April 1986 royal decree.{{sfn|BOE|1986}} The [[Statute of Autonomy]] of Castilla–La Mancha also contains provisions concerning the relations between the municipalities and the autonomous government of Castilla–La Mancha.{{sfn|BOE|1982}} All citizens of Spain are required to register in the municipality in which they reside.{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=15}} Each municipality is a corporation with independent [[legal person]]hood: its governing body is called the ''ayuntamiento'' ([[municipal council]] or [[municipal corporation|corporation]]),{{sfn|BOE|1985|pp=13-14}} a term often also used to refer to the [[seat of local government|municipal offices]] (city and town halls). The ''ayuntamiento'' is composed of the [[mayor]] ({{langx|es|alcalde}}), the [[deputy mayor]]s (''tenientes de alcalde'') and the plenary assembly (''pleno'') of [[councillor]]s (''concejales'').{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=19}} Municipalities are categorised by population for the purpose of determining the number of councillors: three when the population is up to 100 inhabitants, five for 101{{ndash}}250, seven for 251{{ndash}}1,000, nine for 1,001{{ndash}}2,000, eleven for 2,001{{ndash}}5,000, thirteen for 5,001{{ndash}}10,000, seventeen for 10,001{{ndash}}20,000, twenty-one for 20,001{{ndash}}50,000, and twenty-five for 50,001{{ndash}}100,000.{{sfn|LOREG|1985|pp=64-65}} One councillor is added for every additional 100,000 inhabitants, with a further one added when the number of councillors based on this methodology would be even in order to prevent [[Tie (draw)|tied]] votes.{{sfn|LOREG|1985|p=65}}

The mayor and the deputy mayors are elected by the plenary assembly, which is itself elected by [[universal suffrage]].{{sfn|LOREG|1985|p=7}} Elections in municipalities with more than 250 inhabitants are carried out following a [[proportional representation]] system with [[closed list]]s,{{sfn|LOREG|1985|p=65}} whilst those with a population lower than 250 use a [[block plurality voting]] system with [[open list]]s.{{sfn|LOREG|1985|p=66}} The plenary assembly must meet periodically at the seat of the ''ayuntamiento'', 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.{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=33}} Many ''ayuntamientos'' also have a local governing board ({{langx|es|junta de gobierno local}}), which is named by the mayor from amongst the councillors and is required for municipalities of more than 5,000&nbsp;inhabitants.{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=19}} 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.{{sfn|BOE|1985|p=21}}

The largest municipality by population in the province as of the 2023 Spanish census is [[Alicante|Alicante/Alacant]], its capital, with 349,282 residents, while the smallest is [[Tollos]], with 40 residents.<ref name="census2023"/> The largest municipality by area is [[Orihuela]], which spans 365.36&nbsp;km², while [[L'Alqueria d'Asnar]] is the smallest at 1.08&nbsp;km².<ref name="landarea"/>
