Chamber of Deputies

The Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de Diputados) is the lower house of Paraguay's bicameral legislature, the National Congress. It is made up of 80 members, elected for a five-year term by proportional representation. The other chamber of the National Congress (Congreso Nacional) is the Chamber of Senators (Cámara de Senadores).

A unicameral congress was established in 1813, and replaced with a bicameral congress including the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate in 1870. In 1940, a unicameral Chamber of Representatives was formed, and since 1967 there has been a bicameral legislature.
