The provinces, with their capitals, are as follows:
- Bishkek (shaar)
- Batken Province (Batken)
- Chuy Province (Bishkek)
- Jalal-Abad Province (Jalal-Abad)
- Naryn Province (Naryn)
- Osh Province (Osh)
- Talas Province (Talas)
- Issyk Kul Province (Karakol)
Each province is further divided into districts (raion), administered by government-appointed officials. Rural communities (aiyl okmotus) consisting of up to twenty small settlements have their own elected mayors and councils.
