The Legislature of Córdoba (Spanish: Legislatura de la provincia de Córdoba) is the unicamerallegislative body of Córdoba Province, in Argentina. It comprises 70 legislators, of which 23 are elected directly in each of the 23 departments of Córdoba, while the remaining 44 are elected in a single province-wide district. All legislators serve four-year terms and are elected concurrently.
The unicameral Legislature was created in 2001 following a reform to the provincial constitution; before that, Córdoba was one of nine (now eight) provinces counting with a bicameral legislature, split between a Senate and a Chamber of Deputies.[1]
Since 2019 the Legislature has had its seat in a new building in the City of Córdoba, the provincial capital. The building was designed by Morini Arquitectos.[2]
The Constitution of Córdoba Province, sanctioned in 2001, lays out the responsibilities and limitations of the Legislature and its members. According to Article 76, the legislature will be composed of:
26 legislators elected directly by the people by a plurality of votes in each of the departments of the province, taking each of these as a single district,
44 legislators elected directly and proportionally by the people, taking the entirety of the province as a single district.
Article 83 states that the mandate of all legislators is limited to four years. Legislators may be re-elected an indefinite number of times. All legislators begin their mandates on the same day as the governor is inaugurated.[3]

Legislators elected in single-member districts must be natives of their department, or have resided in said department for no less than three years prior to the election.[3]
