According to the General Electoral Regime Law (Spanish: Ley del Régimen Electoral General), the number of eligible councilors is based on the population of the municipality.
The municipal plenary serves to represent the citizenry in the municipal government. It is responsible for the debate and adoption of government policies including: regulations, laws, municipal budgets, urban planning plans, service management, etc. The plenary is made up of 29 councilors and is chaired by the mayor.
