An update on the map of the Republic of Latvia (Europe) #808

The current administrative division of Latvia came into force on 1 July 2021.

On 10 June 2020, the Saeima approved a municipal reform that would reduce the 110 municipalities and nine republic cities to 43 local government units consisting of 36 municipalities (novadi) and seven state cities (valstspilsētas, plural).

There is a new and updated map of Latvia that should be updated in other data bases.
