Each department is represented by four Senators, while Deputies are awarded to each state in proportion to their total population.

The largest department by area is Santa Cruz, encompassing 370,621 square kilometres (143,098 sq mi), while the smallest is Tarija, encompassing 37,623 square kilometres (14,526 sq mi).
