Art. 321

The provinces are made up of municipalities or adjacent indigenous territories belonging to the same department.

An Act shall stipulate the basic statute and determine the administrative regime of the provinces that may be organized for the execution of the functions delegated to them by national or departmental entities and which an Act assigns to them and to the municipalities that make them up.

The provinces shall be created by ordinance, at the initiative of the governor, the mayors of the respective municipalities, or the number of citizens determined by statute.

For admission to an already constituted province, a popular consultation must be held in the municipalities involved.

The department and municipalities shall bring to the provinces the percentage of their current revenues that the assembly and respective councils shall determine.
