2019 Spanish regional elections

For the local elections held concurrently, see 2019 Spanish local elections.

Regional elections were held in Spain during 2019 to elect the regional parliaments of thirteen of the seventeen autonomous communities—Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile and León, Castilla–La Mancha, Extremadura, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarre and the Valencian Community—and the two autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. 814 of 1,208 seats in the regional parliaments were up for election, as well as the 50 seats in the regional assemblies of the autonomous cities. The elections were held on 26 May 2019 for most of the regions (simultaneously with local elections all throughout the country, as well as the 2019 European Parliament election) and on 28 April in the Valencian Community (simultaneously with a general election).

Election date

Determination of election day varied depending on the autonomous community, with each one having competency to establish its own regulations. Typically, thirteen out of the seventeen autonomous communities—all but Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia—had their elections fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years, to be held together with nationwide local elections.^[1]

In some cases, regional presidents had the prerogative to dissolve the regional parliament and call for extra elections at a different time, but newly elected assemblies were restricted to serving out what remained of their previous four year-terms without altering the period to their next ordinary election. In other cases—namely, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, Castile and León, Extremadura, Navarre and the Valencian Community—the law granted presidents the power to call a snap election resulting in fresh four year-parliamentary terms.^[2] By the time of the 2019 regional elections, this prerogative had been exercised by the Valencian Community by holding a snap regional election on 28 April 2019.^[3][4][5]
