Administrative divisions
See also: Administrative divisions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast

Yarmolyntsi Raion was divided in a way that followed the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government was also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.

Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the Yarmolyntsi Raion was divided into:[2]

  • 1 settlement council—made up of the urban-type settlement of Yarmolyntsi (administrative center)
  • 29 village councils

Overall, the raion had a total of 60 populated localities, consisting of one urban-type settlement, and 59 villages.[2]
