Currently

Moldova is divided into 32 districts (Romanian: raioane, raions), 3 municipalities (Chişinău, Bălţi, and Bender/Tighina), one autonomous territorial unit (Gagauzia), and one territorial unit (Transnistria). The final status of the latter is yet unclear. The cities of Comrat and Tiraspol also have municipality status, but are not among first-tier units, i.e. are counted inside Gagauzia and Transnistria, respectively, whose capitals they are. The 32 districts (also called raions) are:

  1. Anenii Noi
  2. Basarabeasca
  3. Briceni
  4. Cahul, non-contiguous
  5. Cantemir
  6. Călăraşi
  7. Căuşeni

Current administrative divisions of Moldova

Transnistria, which with the exception of a few localities corresponds to the part of Moldova east of the Dniestr/Nistru River, is de jure a part of Moldova, although in reality it is not controlled by the Moldovan government. In addition, Bender/Tighina municipality and 3 communes of Căuşeni district, all situated in the security zone, are de facto controlled by the breakaway regime of Transnistria.

Previously

Former counties of Moldova. The Chişinău municipality is lumped on the map with the Chişinău County, although they were two distinct units.

Formerly (from 1998 until February 2003), Moldova was made up of the following 12 units: 1 municipality, 1 autonomous territorial unit, 1 territorial unit, and 9 counties, or judeţe (capitals in parentheses):

  1. Chişinău municipality, surrounded by Chişinău county, but different from it
  2. Bălţi County (Bălţi)
  3. Cahul County (Cahul)
  4. Chişinău County (Chişinău)
  5. Edineţ County (Edineţ)
  6. Lăpuşna County (Hînceşti)
  7. Orhei County (Orhei)
  8. Soroca County (Soroca)
  9. Tighina County (Căuşeni)
  10. Ungheni County (Ungheni)
  11. Găgăuzia, autonomous territorial unit (Comrat)
  12. Stânga Nistrului, territorial unit (Dubăsari)

Localities

Moldova has a total of 982 incorporated localities (i.e. 982 mayors and 982 local councils), of which 5 have municipality status, 60 have city status, and 917 have commune status. There are also 697 unincorporated localities; these are villages that are part of either cities (34 of them), or communes (663), but do not have a mayor and local council of their own. This makes for a total of 1,679 localities of Moldova, all but one of which are inhabited.
