In the Constitution, the allocations of the functions of the federal and provincial governments are clearly specified. There are some functions that are the exclusive responsibility of the federal government, while others according to the Constitution can either be performed by the federal or provincial governments. The existence of local governments is not formally embodied in the Constitution. Local governments in Pakistan exist under the supervision of the various provincial governments, where provincial governments have merely delegated some of their functions and responsibilities to local governments by the promulgation of ordinances. The Local Government Ordinance of 1979 and its amendments are in operation in Punjab, Sindh and NWFP, while Baluchistan's local governments are under the 1980 Ordinance. These ordinances specify the allocation of residuary functions of local governments. Since the dissolution of elected local governments in the early 1990s, elected local governments have only been restored in Punjab Province and NWFP.
In NWFP all local bodies were dissolved in 1991, in Sindh in 1992 and in Punjab in August 1993. Different reasons exist as to why the provincial governments dissolved the local governments in their own provinces. In the case of the NWFP, mismanagement and corruption were cited as reasons, while Punjab provincial government dissolved its local governments in order to ensure that national elections held in October 1993 were not influenced by incumbent local government officials. In the absence of democratically elected local government officials in rural and urban areas, Administrators ran all town committees, municipal committees and municipal corporations. Administrators are members of either the federal or provincial public service cadre or individuals appointed by the provincial government and can be transferred between different posts for unspecified duration of tenure.
