The Legislature of Mendoza (es|Legislatura de la Provincia de Mendoza) is the local legislature of the Argentinian province of Mendoza. It is a bicameral body, comprising the Chamber of Deputies of Mendoza (48 members), and the Senate of Mendoza (38 members). It is one of eight bicameral legislatures in the country.[2] [3]
It is elected by a general provincial proportional representation and renewed every 2 years by electing a new half of each house. Each representative serves a four-year term. The Provincial Constitution denotes its legislative powers.
The Legislature meets in the provincial capital. The building where the Mendoza Legislature currently operates is a cultural heritage of the Province built in 1889, as a Social Club of the Mendoza ruling class, designed by Federico Knoll.
