The Political Constitution of 1851 provided that the Legislative Congress would be renewed by half every two years, with the Deputies with the longest service being elected at the end of each two-year period.

In 1917, a new Local Political Constitution was enacted, establishing for the first time, the direct election of the Governor of the State, as well as the documentation of the “electoral district”.

Through Decree Number 86, various important reforms were applied to the Local Political Constitution, which were published in the Official Gazette on December 13, 1950.

A new reform applied in 1992 to the aforementioned article, provided that Congress could be composed of up to 46 Deputies, 28 elected by first-past-the-post and up to 14 more assigned by proportional representation, also prescribing the clause of governability in favor of the majority party, to which by law four proportional representation seats should be assigned.
