Most subdivisions of Gyeongju elect a single member to represent them in the council, but [[Angang-eup]] is represented by two members because of its large population, and two of the representatives serve combined districts composed of two ''dong''. Like the mayor, the council members were last elected in 2006, except for a small number elected in more recent [[by-election]]s. The central administration is composed of a City Council committee, five departments, two subsidiary organs, a chamber (the auditor), and six business offices. The five departments are the Departments of Planning and Culture, Autonomous Administration, Industry and Environment, Construction and Public Works, and the National Enterprise Committee; these oversee a total of 29 subdivisions. The two subsidiary organs are the Health Care Center and Agro-technology Center; these belong directly to the central administration and have a total of 4 subdivisions. In addition, there are 23 local administrative subdivisions. Each of these subdivisions has a local office with a small administrative staff.<ref>{{cite web|date=2009-05-12 |url=http://www.gyeongju.go.kr/inFrame.asp?how_chk=&hdnPage=&Kwa01Code=&s_sy=&s_sm=&s_ey=&s_em=&SearchType=&SearchString=&reqNum=&vDiscrNo=&name=&result=&discrHash=&PCODE=A0201&main=2&sub=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110613163325/http://www.gyeongju.go.kr/inFrame.asp?how_chk=&hdnPage=&Kwa01Code=&s_sy=&s_sm=&s_ey=&s_em=&SearchType=&SearchString=&reqNum=&vDiscrNo=&name=&result=&discrHash=&PCODE=A0201&main=2&sub=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-06-13 |script-title=ko:ํ์ ์กฐ์ง |trans-title=Administrative organization |publisher=Gyeongju City |language=ko |access-date=2009-09-15}}</ref> As of December 2008, the city government employed 1,462 people.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ebook.gyeongju.go.kr/data/2009bef_pdf.zip |script-title=ko:๊ธฐ๋ณธํํฉ |trans-title=Basic status quo |publisher=Gyeongju City |page=7 |language=ko |access-date=2009-09-15 }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
