===County council=== The county council ({{langx|no|Fylkestinget}}) is made up of 47 representatives that are elected by direct election by all legal residents of the county every fourth year. The council is the legislative body for the county. The county council typically meets about six times a year. Council members are divided into standing committees and an executive committee ({{lang|no|fylkesutvalg}}), which meet considerably more often. Both the council and executive committee (with at least 5 members) are led by the county mayor ({{langx|no|fylkesordfører}}). The executive committee carries out the executive functions of the county under the direction of the whole council.
