Government
The Zaporizhia Municipality (and the city of Zaporizhia itself), is governed by a mayor, who is elected every four years in local Ukrainian elections. The last election took place in 2015, and saw the election of independent candidate Volodymyr Buriak as mayor.[5][6]
The municipality's legislative branch is the city council, which consists of 90 locally-elected deputies.[7]

The former urban-type settlement of Teplychne (Ukrainian: Тепличне) was previously a settlement council and an administrative unit of the Shevchenko Raion, although it was annexed to Zaporizhia's city limits based on a resolution of the Zaporizhia Oblast Council dated 23 April 2009.[9]
