Supranational representatives[edit]
The Constitution of Bolivia mandates that representatives before international parliaments be elected by universal suffrage. In prior legislatures, the two chambers of parliament designated members from among their own ranks to represent the country abroad.[1] In 2014, this process was supplanted by the creation of representatives before supranational parliamentary organizations – eighteen officeholders, one per department (plus a corresponding substitute), elected at-large in a double simultaneous vote with the presidential election, in the same manner as party-list deputies.[2][α]
Although marginally separate from both legislative chambers,[3] the supranational representatives are administratively and financially dependent on the Chamber of Deputies.[4] They are ostensibly accountable to both the Senate and Chamber of Deputies but report directly to the vice president in his capacity as ex officio president of the legislative assembly. At present, they act as representatives before the Andean and Latin American Parliament, the Indigenous and Afro-descendant Parliament of America, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, as well as the Southern Common Market and the South American Union. According to analysts, the work of supranational representatives "is not [highly visible] in the country, but is essential for Bolivia's representation in different international organizations".[5]

Notes[edit]
- ^ In practice, the presence of only one candidate makes the election majoritarian rather than proportional, as the plurality presidential winner in each department always wins that region's representative.[3]
- ^ Youngest-ever and youngest woman elected to the Chamber of Deputies. Served the longest period as youngest member: five years, nine months, and sixteen days.
- ^ Youngest man and earliest-born elected to the Chamber of Deputies.
