Article III, Section 1 of the Local Government Act, 1694 provided that, "Every Region as defined by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, or admitted thereafter into the Federation, shall, after their election in accordance with this Act, thereafter be administered by a Governor, who shall be elected at large by the voters of that Region, and shall serve for a 6-year term. The Governor must be at least 25 years of age, able to read and write, of sound mind, and must be a registered voter of the Region where they intend to run for office."

The Regional and Local Government Organization Act, 1699 repealed Local Government Act, 1694 and Article 7, Section 3 provided that, "Every Region as defined by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, or admitted thereafter into the Federation, shall, after their election in accordance with this Act, thereafter be administered by a Governor, who shall be elected at large by the voters of that Region, and shall serve for a 5-year term."

Such laws shall limit their rate taxation for their purposes, and restrict their powers to borrow money and contract debts. Each Special City is granted power to levy other taxes for public purposes, subject to limitations and prohibitions provided by the Proclamation of Punta Santiago or by law."

Article XII, Section 2 of the Regional and Local Government Organization Act, 1699 further empowered regional legislatures, stating that they "...are authorized to create and charter localities below the level of states such as: municipalities, burghs, and other local communities as they may require. Regions may use different terms to refer to a “Municipality”, but the general term for this subdivision shall be generally known as a “Municipality”." Section 3 states that, "Localities shall have such structure as the Regions may require, provided that the boundaries of localities shall be established in consultation with residents of the aforesaid localities and provided that a simple majority of the residents therein assent to the aforesaid establishment of locality by plebiscite or referendum."

Article XII, Section 5 provided regional legislatures with the power of legislative review: "The regional legislatures shall have the power to review legislation adopted by legislative bodies of their localities, and may declare them invalid if found to be in conflict with the law."

Article XII, Section 6 also granted further authority: "Localities created by Regions under authority of this Act may be dissolved by regional legislatures, provided that a simple majority of the residents therein assent to the aforesaid dissolution by plebiscite or referendum."
