<P> The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Tribunal, the Judiciary Council, Agrarian and Environmental Tribunal, and District (departmental) and lower courts . In October 2011, Bolivia held its first judicial elections to choose members of the national courts by popular vote, a reform brought about by Evo Morales . </P> <P> The Plurinational Electoral Organ is an independent branch of government which replaced the National Electoral Court in 2010 . The branch consists of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the nine Departmental Electoral Tribunals, Electoral Judges, the anonymously selected Juries at Election Tables, and Electoral Notaries . Wilfredo Ovando presides over the seven - member Supreme Electoral Tribunal . Its operations are mandated by the Constitution and regulated by the Electoral Regime Law (Law 026, passed 2010). The Organ's first elections were the country's first judicial election in October 2011, and five municipal special elections held in 2011 . </P> <P> Bolivia has its constitutionally recognized capital in Sucre, while La Paz is the seat of government . La Plata (now Sucre) was proclaimed provisional capital of the newly independent Alto Perú (later, Bolivia) on 1 July 1826 . On 12 July 1839, President José Miguel de Velasco proclaimed a law naming the city as the capital of Bolivia, and renaming it in honor of the revolutionary leader Antonio José de Sucre . The Bolivian seat of government moved to La Paz at the start of the twentieth century, as a consequence of Sucre's relative remoteness from economic activity after the decline of Potosí and its silver industry and of the Liberal Party in the War of 1899 . </P> <P> The 2009 Constitution assigns the role of national capital to Sucre, not referring to La Paz in the text . In addition to being the constitutional capital, the Supreme Court of Bolivia is located in Sucre, making it the judicial capital . Nonetheless, the Palacio Quemado (the Presidential Palace and seat of Bolivian executive power) is located in La Paz, as are the National Congress and Plurinational Electoral Organ . La Paz thus continues to be the seat of government . </P>
