The 2024 Bolivian judicial election was scheduled to be held on 15 December 2024.
The mandate of high judicial authorities who took office in 2018 ended on 31 December 2023. The judicial election system is controversial.
More than 7.3 million voters were eligible to elect the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Constitutional Tribunal (TCP), Agro-environmental Court and the Council of the Magistracy.
The elections were held in a complete way only in La Paz, Oruro, Potosí and Chuquisaca, which are four of the nine regions of the country.
In the departments of Beni, Pando, Cochabamba, Tarija and Santa Cruz, voters were not able to vote for the candidates for the TCP, while in Beni and Pando, the judges of the TSJ were also not be elected. These were the first judicial elections in Bolivian history which were conducted in a partial manner.
Each citizen could vote for one person. The ballot was the same for every citizen nationwide. Three of the elected judges were recommended by the opposition, while two were recommended by MAS-IPSP.
