  • Members of Departamental Legislative Assemblies in each department; 23 seats in these Assemblies will represent indigenous communities, and have been selected by traditional usos y costumbres in the weeks prior to the election
  • Mayors and Council members in all 339 municipalities[1]
  • Provincial Subgovernors and Municipal Corregidors (executive authorities) in Beni
  • Sectional Development Executives at the provincial level in Tarija

Altogether, 2,642 officials were elected.[3] Almost every elected office, but not Mayor, included a simultaneously elected alternate of the same party.
