With the promulgation of the Constitution of Nepal in 2015, the country restructured into a Federal Democratic Republic made up of 7 provinces and local levels categorized as rural municipality, municipality, metropolitan, and sub-metropolitan. The first local elections under this new structure were held in 2017.
