Provinces, according to the 1903 Constitution, are responsible for spatial planning, finances, infrastructure, health policies, and certain cultural policies within their jurisdictions. Provincial governments consist of a 15-member council (''provincialestaten''), elected every three years by popular vote within designated voting constituencies. Provincial executives are called Stadtholders are appointed by the Lower House and confirmed by the Provincial Council every four years. They act as a bridge of communication between local and national government and are entrusted with maintaining the decentralization of power.
