No arrangement will be made for Ba Xa commune, Ba To district, with a natural area of ​​102.7867 km² and a population of 5,452 people.

Arrange 169 communes, wards and towns in 12 districts, towns and cities of Quang Ngai province into 54 commune-level administrative units, including 6 wards and 48 communes. After the arrangement, Quang Ngai province has 56 commune-level administrative units, including 6 wards, 49 communes and 1 special zone.

Quang Ngai province was established on the basis of merging Kon Tum province and Quang Ngai province. The administrative unit of Quang Ngai province (new) has an area of ​​14,832.548 km² (reaching 296.65% of the standard), a population of 2,161,755 people (reaching 154.41% of the standard), with 96 affiliated administrative units. The political and administrative center of Quang Ngai province is located in Quang Ngai city, Quang Ngai province today.

The arrangement of the number of cadres, civil servants and public employees of the administrative unit of Quang Ngai province after the rearrangement must not exceed the total number of cadres, civil servants and public employees currently in the two provinces before the rearrangement.

During the 5 years of implementation, the province aims to reduce at least 20% of the number of cadres, civil servants, and public employees (excluding those in the education and health sectors) compared to the total number at the time of the arrangement and merger of the two provinces. The assignment of staff after the arrangement, in the period 2025-2030, will be implemented according to the roadmap of the Central Government.
