All 35 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in eleven other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, as well as the 2019 European Parliament election.The election saw the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC) of incumbent president Miguel \u00c1ngel Revilla become the most voted political force in a regional election for the first time, with 37.6% of the share and 14 out of the 35 seats at stake. Combined with an increase in the support for the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), the governing PRC\u2013PSOE coalition went from a minority government to a majority one, with Revilla being re-elected for a fourth term in office. The People’s Party (PP), with 24.0% of the vote and 9 seats, obtained its worst result since the 1991 election, whereas Podemos\u2014which had seen an internal crisis ravage its parliamentary group in the region\u2014fell below the five percent threshold and lost all of its seats. Both liberal Citizens and far-right Vox saw an increase in support, with both parties gaining seats and, in the latter’s case, entering the chamber for the first time.Overview[edit]Electoral system[edit]The Parliament of Cantabria was the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Cantabria, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Cantabrian Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a regional president.[1] Voting for the Parliament was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Cantabria and in full enjoyment of their political rights. Additionally, Cantabrians abroad were required to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as “begged” or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).[2]The 35 members of the Parliament of Cantabria were elected using the D’Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of five percent of valid votes\u2014which included blank ballots\u2014being applied regionally.[1][3]Election date[edit]The term of the Parliament of Cantabria expired four years after the date of its previous election. Elections to the Parliament were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years. The previous election was held on 24 May 2015, setting the election date for the Parliament on Sunday, 26 May 2019.[1][3][4]The president had the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament of Cantabria 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. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the first ballot, the Parliament was to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called. 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.[1]The election to the Parliament of Cantabria was officially triggered on 2 April 2019 after the publication of the election decree in the Official Gazette of Cantabria (BOC), scheduling for the chamber to convene on 20 June.[5]Parliamentary composition[edit]The table below shows the composition of the parliamentary groups in the Parliament at the time of dissolution.[6]Parliamentary composition in April 2019GroupsPartiesLegislatorsSeatsTotalPeople’s Parliamentary GroupPP1313Regionalist Parliamentary GroupPRC1212Socialist Parliamentary GroupPSOE55Mixed Parliamentary GroupCs14OlaCantabria1[a]INDEP2[b]Non-InscritsPodemos1[c]1Parties and candidates[edit]The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of at least one percent of the electorate in Cantabria, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates.[3][4]Below is a list of the main parties and electoral alliances which contested the election: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; 18 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Parliament of Cantabria.Color key:\u00a0\u00a0Poll conducted after legal ban on opinion pollsResults[edit]\u2190 Summary of the 26 May 2019 Parliament of Cantabria election results \u2192Parties and alliancesPopular voteSeatsVotes%\u00b1ppTotal+\/\u2212Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC)122,67937.64+7.7514+2People’s Party (PP)78,34724.04\u20138.549\u20134Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE)57,38317.61+3.577+2Citizens\u2013Party of the Citizenry (Cs)25,8727.94+1.003+1Vox (Vox)16,4965.06+4.722+2We Can (Podemos)10,2243.14\u20135.750\u20133United Left+Equo (Cantabrian Tide) (IU+Equo (Marea C\u00e1ntabra))16,2041.90\u20131.130\u00b10Animalist Party Against Mistreatment of Animals (PACMA)1,8540.57\u20130.030\u00b10Cantabrists (Cantabristas)1,5840.49New0\u00b10Hi Cantabria (OlaCantabria)1,1190.34New0\u00b10Communist Party of the Workers of Spain (PCTE)7740.24New0\u00b10New People’s Left (NIP)1870.06New0\u00b10Blank ballots3,1800.98\u20130.57Total325,90335\u00b10Valid votes325,90399.02+0.75Invalid votes3,2340.98\u20130.75Votes cast \/ turnout329,13765.71\u20130.52Abstentions171,78834.29+0.52Registered voters500,925Sources[6][20]Popular votePRC\u200937.64%PP\u200924.04%PSOE\u200917.61%Cs\u20097.94%Vox\u20095.06%Podemos\u20093.14%IU+Equo\u20091.90%Others\u20091.69%Blank ballots\u20090.98%SeatsPRC\u200940.00%PP\u200925.71%PSOE\u200920.00%Cs\u20098.57%Vox\u20095.71%Aftermath[edit]InvestitureMiguel \u00c1ngel Revilla (PRC)Ballot \u219227 June 2019Required majority \u219218 out of 35 YAbsenteesSources[6][21]References[edit]Opinion poll sourcesOther^ a b c d “Ley Org\u00e1nica 8\/1981, de 30 de diciembre, de Estatuto de Autonom\u00eda para Cantabria”.
