This article is referencing as a list all lawfully recognized municipalities of Mary Province, Turkmenistan. Since November 9, 2022, there are 343 municipalities in Mary, including two cities with district status, 6 cities, 14 towns, and 321 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.
Lists Municipalities listed here are sorted by their administrative division, then by alphabetical order.
