Location of cities in Volyn Oblast.[1]

From independence in 1991 to 2020, four cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining seven cities were located amongst sixteen raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[8][9][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into four new, expanded raions.[3][10] The four raions that make up the oblast are Kamin-Kashyrskyi, Kovel, Lutsk, and Volodymyr.[11]
