	Hungary has 3,152 localities as of July 15, 2013. 346 towns (Hungarian term: "város", plural: "városok"; the terminology doesn't distinguish between cities and towns – the term town is used in official translations) and 2,806 villages (Hungarian: "község", plural: "községek"). The number of towns can change, since villages can be elevated to town status by act of the President. The capital Budapest has a special status and is not included in any county while 23 of the towns are so-called urban counties ("megyei jogú város" – town with county rights). All county seats except Budapest are urban counties.
