Bolivian legislative election, 2005

The 2005 Bolivian legislative election was held simultaneously with the presidential election on 18 December 2005. The elections were held to elect a new National Congress, composed of the Chamber of Deputies and Senate, for a full four-year term.

Electoral system

Bolivians cast two ballots for national officials: one for a party and one for their single-member district representative in the Chamber of Deputies. The party vote applies to the presidential race, to Senators and to the Chamber of Deputies proportional representatives. Senators and deputies are returned on a departmental basis; senators are elected on a majoritarian basis, with the first-place party receiving two and the second-place party one, while deputies are elected on a mixed-member basis, with district deputies joining list deputies awarded by compensatory proportional representation. However, there is no national distribution of seats.
