Finnmark County Authority looks after social development in the county, in collaboration with the municipalities, state-run institutions and trade and business. The county authority is the leading regional political body and provides continuing education, cultural services and dental services for all county residents. The County Centre, seat of the central administration, is located in Vadsø, while in most municipalities the county has workplaces (such as schools, dental health care centres.) The county muni­cipality is regionally elected, presided over by a county parliament. Elections for the county parliament are direct and are held every four years, simultaneously with the municipal elections.
