“Once received the Law of Distribution of Seats among Departments, we proceed to its immediate promulgation”, the dignitary assured in his X account.

Arce described as “fundamental” this step so that the Supreme Electoral Tribunal can carry out the necessary procedures and thus guarantee transparent and effective general elections this year.

“We reiterate our firm commitment to democracy and citizen participation in this crucial electoral process, convinced that every voice counts and deserves to be heard,” the head of state concluded.

After its approval the day before by more than two thirds of the plenary of the Chamber of Senators after four hours of debate, the president of the Senate, Andrónico Rodríguez, sent the regulation to the Executive body for its promulgation.

According to the census, the department of Santa Cruz increases its presence in the Plurinational Legislative Assembly (ALP) with one deputy, while Chuquisaca decreases in the same number. The draft regulation was approved last January 10 by the deputies, and dealt with this Wednesday with dispensation of procedure thanks to the support of 20 out of 31 senators present.
