Administration
The office of a Oberpräsident appointed by the Prussian state government had to carry out central prerogatives on the provincial level and to supervise the implementation of central policy on the lower levels of administration. The urban and rural districts elected representatives for the provincial diet (Provinziallandtag). This parliament legislated within the competences transferred to the province. The diet of Posen–West Prussia elected a provincial executive body (government), the provincial committee (Provinzialausschuss), and the Landeshauptmann as head of the province.
