Administrative divisions
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The Nova Ushytsia Raion is divided in a way that follows the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government is also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions are subdivided into councils, which are the prime level of administrative division in the country.
Each of the raion's urban localities administer their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities are organized into councils, which also may contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the Nova Ushytsia Raion is divided into:[2]
- 1 settlement council—made up of the urban-type settlement of Nova Ushytsia (administrative center)
- 21 village councils
Overall, the raion has a total of 59 populated localities, consisting of one urban-type settlement, 57 villages, and one rural settlement.[2]
