Kyrgyzstan is divided into seven provinces (singular: област - oblast, plural: областтар - oblasttar). The capital, Bishkek, is administratively an independent city (shaar), as well as being the capital of Chuy Province. Osh also has shaar status^{[citation needed]}.

The provinces, with their capitals, are as follows:

1. Bishkek (shaar)
2. Batken Province (Batken)
3. Chuy Province (Bishkek)
4. Jalal-Abad Province (Jalal-Abad)
5. Naryn Province (Naryn)
6. Osh Province (Osh)
7. Talas Province (Talas)
8. Issyk Kul Province (Karakol)
9. Osh (shaar)

Each province is further divided into raions (districts), administered by government-appointed officials. Rural communities (aiyl okmotus) consisting of up to twenty small settlements have their own elected mayors and councils.
