''Cabildos'' are a Spanish system of government administration that are now only used in the Canary Islands, where they are known as ''cabildos insulares'' ("island councils"), each governing one of the seven main islands - Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The island of La Graciosa falls under the jurisdiction of the cabildo of Lanzarote. The members of a ''cabildo'' are elected by direct universal suffrage by the Spanish citizens of each island. The membership is determined by party-list proportional representation. The ''cabildos'' were created under the ''Law of Cabildos'' of 1912. During Francisco Franco's dictatorship they were appointed rather than elected. ''Cabildos'' exercise a level of authority between those of their province and their autonomous communities in matters of health, environment, culture, sports, industry, roads, drinking water and irrigation, hunting and fishing licensing, museums, beaches, public transportation and land organization. ''Cabildos'' can impose fuel taxes. ==See also== *Cabildo de Tenerife *Cabildo (council) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cabildo insular」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
