Local governments
As for parishes, there is a difference between urban and rural parishes in terms of their organization and governance.
Urban parishes: they are simply administrative divisions of the canton and do not have their own authorities, either elected by the people or appointed by the authority.

These rural GAD of course, cannot contravene the laws of the constitutional provisions and/or, the regulations dictated by the provincial, metropolitan and city councils (Art. 8 of COOTAD).

The term local government refers to all those who manage the specific territory of a circumscription usually smaller than a province, that is to say, those of the cantons and urban and rural parishes.
"Each canton shall have a cantonal council, which shall be composed of the Mayor and the Councillors elected by popular vote, from whom a Deputy Mayor will be chosen.
The mayor will be its highest administrative authority and will preside over it with a casting vote.
The cantonal council (and in the case of Quito, the metropolitan council) is the legislative body of the canton.
Its role is to study the cantonal reality and issue ordinances, which are like laws within the canton, as well as resolutions and agreements, applicable in the territorial area of the canton.
