The election was the first in which the former President of the Region, Alberto Jo\u00e3o Jardim, was not on the ballot as he earlier stated that he would step down as President and leader of the PSD-Madeira in January 2015.[1] On 29 December 2014, the PSD-Madeira elected  Miguel Albuquerque as the new president of the party’s regional section.[2] After winning the presidency, Albuquerque stated that he would not assume the Presidency of the Government without an election,[3] so Alberto Jo\u00e3o Jardim asked President An\u00edbal Cavaco Silva to dissolve the Parliament and call an election, which was scheduled for 29 March.[4]The campaign for the regional legislative election in Madeira ran from 15 to 27 March 2015.The results showed that the Social Democrats were reelected for the 11th time in a row and, again, with an absolute majority of 24 seats, against the 25 seats won in 2011. The People’s Party was again the second most voted party and the coalition between the Socialists and other smaller parties called Change suffered a huge defeat by winning fewer votes and seats compared to the combined total of the parties in 2011. Together for the People was the surprise of the election winning 10.3% of the vote and winning 5 seats. The Unitary Democratic Coalition increase their result by one MP and the Left Bloc returned to the regional parliament with 2 seats.[5]The turnout in these elections was the lowest ever, with 49.6% of voters casting a ballot.Table of ContentsElectoral system[edit]Parties[edit]Opinion polling[edit]Opinion polls[edit]Seats[edit]Summary of votes and seats[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Electoral system[edit]The 47 members of the Madeiran regional parliament are elected in a single constituency by proportional representation under the D’Hondt method, coinciding with the territory of the Region.[6]Parties[edit]The parties that will contest the election and their leaders, are:[7]Change (PS-PTP-PAN-MPT), Victor FreitasCitizen Platform (PPM-PDA), Miguel FonsecaUnitary Democratic Coalition (CDU), Edgar SilvaNew Democracy Party (PND), Baltazar AguiarWorkers’ Communist Party (PCTP\/MRPP), Alexandre CaldeiraLeft Bloc (BE), Roberto AlmadaNational Renovator Party (PNR), \u00c1lvaro Ara\u00fajoPeople’s Party (CDS\u2013PP), Jos\u00e9 Manuel RodriguesSocial Democratic Party (PSD), Miguel AlbuquerqueSocialist Alternative Movement (MAS), Jos\u00e9 Carlos Gon\u00e7alves JardimTogether for the People (JPP), Filipe SousaOpinion polling[edit]Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first.
