This article is referencing as a list all lawfully recognized municipalities of Balkan Province, Turkmenistan. Since December 10, 2022, there are 137 municipalities in Balkan, including two cities with district status, six cities, 15 towns, and 114 villages.
In Turkmenistan, any administrative division, including municipalities, is designated by law and may be changed by decree by the Assembly of Turkmenistan, as stated by the 23rd article of the constitution. They all are referenced in a list rarely shared by the Turkmen government, yet available for consultation through the 2022 census.
Criticized by external observers, the census figures should be taken very carefully as they seem to overestimate the actual population of the country.
Municipalities listed here are sorted by their administrative division, then by alphabetical order.
Cities with district status are bolded.
Villages which hold the seat of their rural council are bolded.
