About: List of senators of Tarija

Tarija is represented in the Plurinational Legislative Assembly of Bolivia by four senators and their alternates elected through proportional representation. They serve five-year terms and qualify for reelection once. The current delegation comprises two senators from Civic Community (CC) and two from the Movement for Socialism (MAS-IPSP): Rodrigo Paz, Nely Gallo, Gladys Alarcón, and Miguel Rejas. Their respective alternates are: Zoya Zamora, Javier Martínez, Luis Casso Vaca, and Natividad Aramayo. Although the bicameral system was adopted in the 1831 Constitution and was maintained in subsequently promulgated constitutions, it can be affirmed that with the exception of very small intervals, the Senate did not, in fact, exercise its functions until the convocation of the 1882 legislature.
