Unlike the other provinces of the country, in the province of Buenos Aires, the territorial divisions are called ''[[Partidos of Buenos Aires|partidos]]'', instead of departments.

These also constitute the municipal division of the province. The provincial Constitution does not recognize the municipal autonomy that was recognized for the whole country in the reform of the [[Constitution of Argentina|National Constitution]] of 1994. Each partido corresponds to a [[municipality]] and is governed by a mayor (''[[Intendant (government official)#Argentina|intendente]]'') elected by popular vote. The process of creating a partido is much more dynamic than in the other provinces, with a total of six more partidos in 2000 than in 1990. Most of the newer partidos were created in the [[Greater Buenos Aires]]. There are 135 partidos, the last established by law is [[Lezama Partido|Lezama]] (2009).
