Before 2018, there were 19 senatorial constituencies. Each region constituted a senatorial constituency, except for the Valparaíso, Santiago, Maule, Biobío, and La Araucanía regions, which were each divided into two senatorial constituencies. Each senatorial constituency elected two senators. Constituencies that did not correspond to full regions were made up of several electoral districts within a region.
In 2009, the Constitution was amended to ensure that each region constituted at least one senatorial constituency. Before the law defining senatorial constituencies was updated to reflect this change, the list was as follows:
