The basic cell of the entire structure of the Cuban People's Power is the circumscription, whose conception and operation converge essentially in the figure of the Delegate and represents the most legitimate and authentic contributions of our democratic system.

The circumscription is not an organ of the People's Power. It does not constitute an intermediate instance for the purposes of the political-administrative division. It does not have subordinate administrative structures. The number of electoral districts of the Municipality is determined for each election by the Provincial Electoral Commission, at the proposal of the respective Municipal Electoral Commission, on the basis of the following rules:

The constituency, due to its territorial extension and number of electors, must allow each delegate to effectively perform his functions and facilitate full interrelation with his electors, as well as their communication with him, fundamentally during non-working hours.
Constituencies should be as uniform as possible with respect to the number of inhabitants.
Every population settlement, however small and remote it may be, must be represented in the organs of the People's Power.

The electoral districts are created in each municipality on the basis of the number of inhabitants in cities, towns, villages, towns and hamlets or dispersed. The constituency shall have a minimum of 200 inhabitants and a maximum of 3,000. In each constituency a delegate is elected to integrate the Municipal Assembly of People's Power.
