It serves as the normative, decision-making, and oversight body within the scope of the Regional Government of Valparaíso and is responsible for ensuring citizen participation at the regional level and exercising the powers conferred upon it by the relevant organic constitutional law. Its headquarters are located in the city of Valparaíso.
