The Macau Government was previously a Special Territory of Portugal and became a Special Administrative Region of the Republic of China on 20 December 1999.

The Macau Government comprises a 10-member executive Council, headed by the chief executive, and a 27-member Legislative Council.

The Legislative Council comprises 10 members who are directly elected; the remainder are indirectly elected (by a 300-strong Election Committee representing corporate and organisational interests) and/or directly appointed by the Chief Executive.

The chief executive of the Macau Government is appointed by the People's Republic of China's central government after selection by an election committee, whose members are nominated by corporate bodies. The chief executive appears before a cabinet, the Executive Council, of between 7 and 11 members.
