Bolivians will hold partial judicial elections today, to elect magistrates to either the Plurinational Constitutional Court (TCP), Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Agro-Environmental Court (TA) and Council of the Judiciary (CM).

Only in Chuquisaca, La Paz, Oruro and Potosí will the authorities of the four instances be elected.

In Beni and Pando, only the authorities of the TA and the CM will be voted on, while in Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and Tarija, the candidates for the TA, the CM and the TSJ will be elected.

Sunday’s polls will determine the election of five sitting and five alternate magistrates to the TA; three sitting and three alternate to the CM; seven sitting and seven alternate to the TSJ; and four sitting and four alternate to the TCP.

The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) of Bolivia confirmed the updated list of the 94 candidates from which 19 sitting and 19 alternate members of the Judicial Branch will be elected on Sunday’s polls.

“The total number has been confirmed after four disqualifications, 12 resignations, one death and 28 withdrawals of candidacies due to the Constitutional Sentence (0770/2024), registered during the process of organizing the elections,” said the vice president of the TSE, Francisco Vargas, in statements to Prensa Latina.

According to Vargas, there are seven million 334 thousand 435 citizens eligible to vote today.

“We must add that 500 more voters registered to vote, because by after changing the date of the elections to December 15 a permanent registration period was opened and the Plenary Hall decided to incorporate those citizens who turned 18 years of age between December 2 and 15.”

“We have completed 5,597 voting stations in the nine departments, and there are 33,019 voting tables operating on Sunday,” Vargas concluded.
