Iceland is divided into 8 ''landsvæði'' (regions), these are mainly used for statistical purposes. The district court jurisdictions also follow this division. The Postal Code system follows the regions as well with a few exceptions. Before 2003 the regions were also used as constituencies for elections to Alþingi . These usages (except for the statistical ones) are however based upon an older version of the regions where Reykjavík proper was a special region and the surrounding municipalities in the current Capital region were a part of the Reykjanes region, currently known as Suðurnes.
