The 2015 Bolivian regional elections were held on 29 March 2015. Departmental and municipal authorities were elected by an electorate of approximately 6 million people. Among the officials elected were:
- Governors of all nine departments
- 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
- The nine members of the Regional Assembly in the autonomous region of Gran Chaco[2]
Almost every elected office, but not Mayor, included a simultaneously elected alternate of the same party.
Results
Bolivia's ruling MAS party suffered some defeats and setbacks in the subnational elections.[3]
