Innlandet County Municipality

The county municipality's most important tasks include secondary education, recreation (sports and outdoor life), and cultural heritage. The county municipality is also responsible for all county roads (including ferry operations) and public transport (including school busses). The county municipality has further responsibility for regional land-use planning, business development, power production, and environmental management. The county also has responsibility for providing dental health services (in 2002, responsibility for hospitals and public medicine was transferred from the counties to the new regional health authorities).^[2]

The county mayor (Norwegian: fylkesordfører) of Innlandet has been the political leader of the county and the chairperson of the county council.^[3] Here is a list of people who have held this position:

• 2020–2023: Even Aleksander Hagen (Ap)
• 2023–present: Thomas Breen (Ap)

The county council (Norwegian: Fylkestinget) is made up of 57 representatives that are elected by direct election by all legal residents of the county every fourth year. The council is the legislative body for the county. The county council typically meets about six times a year. Council members are divided into standing committees and an executive committee (fylkesutvalg), which meet considerably more often. Both the council and executive committee (with at least 5 members) are led by the county mayor (Norwegian: fylkesordfører). The executive committee carries out the executive functions of the county under the direction of the whole council. The tables below show the current and historical composition of the council by political party.^[2][4]
