The Municipality, in addition to the city of La Plata (Sucre) and after the separation of Cochabamba, was divided among the following parties or sub-delegations: Yamparaez (headquartered in the town of Yamparaez), Pilaya and Paspaya (headquartered in the town of Cinti), Tomina (with head in the town of La Laguna), Paría (with head in the town of Poopó), Oruro (with head in the town of Oruro) and Carangas (with head in Asiento del Espíritu Santo).
The council of the city of La Plata and the council of the town of Oruro existed in the administration. Despite being a town, La Laguna did not have a council. The town of Tomina had it in the past, but not during the existence of the administration.
