The Congress of the State of Baja California Sur (Spanish: Congreso del Estado de Baja California Sur) is the legislative branch of the government of the State of Baja California Sur. The Congress is the governmental deliberative body of Baja California Sur, which is equal to, and independent of, the executive.

The Congress is unicameral and consists of 21 deputies.[1][2] 16 deputies are elected on a first-past-the-post basis while five are elected through a system of proportional representation. Deputies are elected to serve for a three-year term.[1]

The Congress convenes at the “General José María Morelos y Pavón” meeting room at the Palace of Legislative Power in the state capital of La Paz.[1][3]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ↑ There are 32 permanent committees as of 2021.[4]
  1. ↑ Initially, this legislature was to include three proportional representation seats, which would be assigned to parties that obtained more than 2% of the vote in the elections and did not reach a majority of five seats. However, the only two parties that exceeded the minimum percentage of votes — the Institutional Revolutionary Party and the National Action Party — exceeded the maximum number of seats, so neither could claim the seats, leaving the three proportional representation seats in this legislature vacant.
