All 47 seats in the Cortes were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.Table of ContentsOverview[edit]Electoral system[edit]Election date[edit]Opinion polls[edit]Results[edit]Overall[edit]Distribution by constituency[edit]Aftermath[edit]References[edit]Overview[edit]Electoral system[edit]The Cortes of Castilla\u2013La Mancha were the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Castilla\u2013La Mancha, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Castilian-Manchegan Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a President of the Junta of Communities.[1] Voting for the Cortes was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Castilla\u2013La Mancha and in full enjoyment of their political rights.The 47 members of the Cortes of Castilla\u2013La Mancha were elected using the D’Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of three percent of valid votes\u2014which included blank ballots\u2014being applied in each constituency. Additionally, the use of the D’Hondt method might result in an effective threshold over three percent, depending on the district magnitude.[2] Seats were allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo. Each constituency was allocated a fixed number of seats: 10 for Albacete, 11 for Ciudad Real, 8 for Cuenca, 7 for Guadalajara and 11 for Toledo.[1][3]The electoral law provided that parties, federations, coalitions and groupings of electors were allowed to present lists of candidates. However, groupings of electors were required to secure the signature of at least 1 percent of the electors registered in the constituency for which they sought election. Electors were barred from signing for more than one list of candidates. Concurrently, parties and federations intending to enter in coalition to take part jointly at an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election being called.[3][4][5]Election date[edit]The term of the Cortes of Castilla\u2013La Mancha expired four years after the date of their previous election. Elections to the Cortes were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years. The previous election was held on 25 May 2003, setting the election date for the Cortes on Sunday, 27 May 2007.[1][3][4][5]The President of the Junta of Communities had the prerogative to dissolve the Cortes of Castilla\u2013La Mancha and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence was in process, no nationwide election was due and some time requirements were met: namely, that dissolution did not occur either during the first legislative session or within the legislature’s last year ahead of its scheduled expiry, nor before one year had elapsed since a previous dissolution. Any snap election held as a result of these circumstances would not alter the period to the next ordinary election, with elected deputies merely serving out what remained of their four-year terms. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional President within a two-month period from the first ballot, the candidate from the party with the highest number of seats was to be deemed automatically elected.[1]Opinion polls[edit]The table below lists voting intention estimates in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. Where the fieldwork dates are unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading party’s colour. If a tie ensues, this is applied to the figures with the highest percentages. The “Lead” column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the parties with the highest percentages in a poll. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 24 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Cortes of Castilla\u2013La Mancha.Color key:\u00a0\u00a0Exit pollPolling firm\/CommissionerFieldwork dateSample sizeTurnoutLead2007 regional election27 May 2007\u201473.752.02642.4213.409.6Ipsos\/RTVE\u2013FORTA[p 1][p 2]27 May 2007???25\/28?19\/22?0?Opina\/Cadena SER[p 3][p 4]18 May 20071,000?53.026\/2741.020?0\/112.0TNS Demoscopia\/Antena 3[p 5][p 6]15 May 2007??56.127\/2939.018\/203.6017.1Celeste-Tel\/Terra[p 7][p 8]9\u201315 May 2007??53.726\/2741.820\/213.5011.9Sigma Dos\/El Mundo[p 9][p 10]27 Apr\u20138 May 20071,000?52.025\/2742.320\/222.909.7CIS[p 11][p 12]9 Apr\u20136 May 20071,992?54.426\/2840.719\/213.7013.7Sigma Dos\/El Mundo[p 13][p 14]16\u201324 Nov 2006???24\/27?20\/23?0?2004 EP election13 Jun 2004\u201451.545.82249.7252.703.92004 general election14 Mar 2004\u201479.946.52347.4243.400.92003 regional election25 May 2003\u201476.357.82936.7183.0021.1Results[edit]Overall[edit]\u2190 Summary of the 27 May 2007 Cortes of Castilla\u2013La Mancha election results \u2192Parties and alliancesPopular voteSeatsVotes%\u00b1ppTotal+\/\u2212Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE)572,84951.96\u20135.8726\u20133People’s Party (PP)467,31942.38+5.7221+3United Left\u2013Left of Castilla\u2013La Mancha (IU\u2013ICAM)37,7533.42+0.370\u00b10The Greens of Europe (LVE)3,5420.32New0\u00b10Commoners’ Land (TC)2,5250.23+0.030\u00b10Castilian Unity (UdCa)1,2130.11\u20130.010\u00b10The Phalanx (FE)1,0710.10+0.060\u00b10Regionalist Party of Guadalajara (PRGU)6190.06+0.010\u00b10Independent Regional Unity (URI)6100.06+0.010\u00b10Humanist Party (PH)5720.05+0.010\u00b10Republican Left (IR)4100.04\u00b10.000\u00b10Blank ballots14,0801.28\u20130.05Total1,102,56347\u00b10Valid votes1,102,56399.25\u20130.07Invalid votes8,3220.75+0.07Votes cast \/ turnout1,110,88573.74\u20132.50Abstentions395,61926.26+2.50Registered voters1,506,504Sources[6][7][8]Popular votePSOE\u200951.96%PP\u200942.38%IU\u2013ICAM\u20093.42%Others\u20090.96%Blank ballots\u20091.28%SeatsPSOE\u200955.32%PP\u200944.68%Distribution by constituency[edit]Aftermath[edit]InvestitureJos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Barreda (PSOE)Ballot \u219226 June 2007Required majority \u219224 out of 47 YAbstentionsAbsenteesSources[8]References[edit]Opinion poll sourcesOther  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/2007-castilian-manchegan-regional-election-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"2007 Castilian-Manchegan regional election – Wikipedia"}}]}]
