A province is administered by an appointed governor ('' Vali ''), and was formerly termed a " Governorate ". Each province has a government center (''il merkezi'') in the central district (''merkez ilçe''), and may include other districts (''ilçe'' singular, ''ilçeler'' plural). The government center usually bears the same name as the province; the exceptions are Hatay (in Antakya), İçel (in Mersin), Kocaeli (in İzmit), and Sakarya (in Adapazarı). A district may cover both rural and urban areas. The central district is administered by an appointed "vice-governor" and other districts by a "sub-governor" ('' Kaymakam ''). Each municipality (''belediye'') in its urban zone (''belde'') is an Administrative Division subject to elections depending on the province. LIST OF PROVINCES AND CENTERS
