Regions are created on the basisof contiguous areas with historical, cultural,

governments. Two or morecontiguous departments may become a region by

conducting a confirmingreferendum, according to law. Likewise, two or more

contiguous provinces anddistricts may change their regional constituency by following

the same procedure.
