Governance of the metropolitan region of Buenos Aires is complex.
The City of Buenos Aires is under the jurisdiction of the federal government and is governed by a popularly elected mayor and legislature, made up of 60 elected representatives.
In the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, the basic political unit is the partido (municipal government), governed by an elected mayor and municipal council.
The federal government established the National Commission of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area in 1987 to coordinate governance issues between the City of Buenos Aires and suburban municipalities. However, the commission has no governance authority or political power, and its efforts have been largely ineffectual.
