[[Senegal]] is subdivided into 11 regions (''régions'', singular{{ndash}} ''région''), each of which is administered by a ''Conseil Régionaux'' elected by population weight at the [[Arrondissements of Senegal|Arrondissement]] level.
Senegal is further subdivided by 34 départements, 103 arrondissements (neither of which have administrative function) and by ''collectivités locales'' (the 11 ''régions'', 110 ''communes'', and 320 ''communautés rurales'') which elect administrative officers.<ref> [http://www.uael.sn/article.php3?id_article=32 List of current local elected officials] from Union des ''Associations d’ Elus Locaux (UAEL) du Sénégal''.

To date, all regions take their name from their regional capitals.
