History

The organization was founded in 1824 as the Central American Congress (). The 1824 constitution first established a bicameral legislature, including Senate. The 1880 constitution retained a bicameral legislature. The 1886 constitution introduced a unicameral legislature.

Structure

Blue Room of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador.

The Salvadoran legislature is a unicameral body. Until 2024, it was made up of 84 deputies, all of whom are elected by direct popular vote according to open-list proportional representation to serve three-year terms and are eligible for immediate re-election. Of these, 64 were elected in 14 multi-seat constituencies, corresponding to the country's 14 departments, which return between 3 and 16 deputies each. The remaining 20 deputies were selected on the basis of a single national constituency.

To be eligible for election to the assembly, candidates must be (Art. 126, Constitution):

over 25;
Salvadoran citizens by birth, born of at least one parent to be a Salvadoran citizen;
of recognised honesty and education, and
have not had the privilege of one's rights as a citizen cancelled in the previous five years.

On 1 June 2023, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele issued a proposal to the Legislative Assembly to reduce the number of its seats from 84 to 60. The proposal was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 7 June 2023 and went into effect on 1 May 2024.
