[[Municipalities of Sweden|Municipalities]] and [[County councils of Sweden|county councils]] in Sweden may form '''local federations''' ({{Langx|sv|kommunalförbund}}) and transfer to such federations the management of local government concerns. When a local federation attends to a matter for which provisions exist in a special enactment, the provisions of that enactment concerning municipalities or county councils shall apply to the local federation.

A local federation shall have as a decision-making body a federation assembly or a federation directorate. Members and alternates of the decision-making assembly are elected, as indicated in the federation statutes, by the assemblies of the federation members.
