Summary/Abstract: In this article, basing on normative regulations, judicial decisions of administrative courts and of Constitutional Tribunal and literature of the subject, an analysis of one of the means of supervision over local government was made, which is the Voivode having the possibility of stating the invalidity of a resolution or order by the local government body. Even though government legislation has equipped the local government with a significant degree of autonomy and independence - legal, judicial, financial, organizational - it has not subjected the lawfulness of legal acts established by local government bodies to control by government administration bodies and provided for the possibility of declaring them null and void. This article analyses the provisions concerning the circumstances and procedures for the application of such a supervision measure; and its implementation, as well as the issue of appealing the analysed supervision measure to an administrative court.
