County government
The Vestland county council ({{langx|no|fylkestinget}}) is made up of 65 representatives that are elected every four years. The council essentially acts as a Parliament or legislative body for the county and it meets about six times each year. The council is divided into standing committees and an executive board ({{lang|no|fylkesutval}}) which meet considerably more often. Both the council and executive board are led by the county mayor ({{lang|no|fylkesordførar}}).
