County government

The Troms county council (Norwegian: Fylkestinget) was made up of 37 representatives that are elected every four years. The last council was elected for the 2015–2019 term. The council essentially acts as a Parliament or legislative body for the county. This council was led by a county mayor (Norwegian: Fylkesordfører), and the council elected five members to be in the county cabinet (Norwegian: Fylkesrådet) which carried out the executive functions of the county. The last cabinet was led by Willy Ørnebakk.[2]
