Administrative regions of the Federal District (Brazil)

The administrative regions of the Federal District (Portuguese: regiões administrativas do Distrito Federal, RADF or RA) are administrative divisions of the Federal District, Brazil.^[1][2] They have similar jurisdiction to municipalities, albeit with a much lesser degree of autonomy^{[citation needed]}. However, administrators are not directly elected, but appointed by the Governor of the Federal District. Moreover, administrative regions have no specific legislative representation apart from the district-wide Legislative Chamber of the Federal District.
