All 41 seats in the City Council were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.The unveiling of numerous corruption scandals throughout 1994 affecting Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez’s Socialist government marked the electoral campaign. For the first time in 16 years, a real possibility for change in the local government resulted in a heated race between Socialists’ Party of Catalonia (PSC) candidate and incumbent Mayor Pasqual Maragall and Convergence and Union (CiU) candidate Miquel Roca. Another factors influencing the political debate were the People’s Party (PP) rise in opinion polls as well as Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) recovery.The election resulted in a surprising comfortable win for PSC and Pasqual Maragall, which was elected for a fourth consecutive term in office with 16 seats and 38.4%. On the other hand, CiU suffered from the PP growth and obtained its worst result since 1983, winning 13 seats and 30.6%. The People’s Party nearly doubled its 1991 result with 7 seats and 16.6%, while both Initiative for Catalonia (IC) and ERC improved their electoral performances, with the latter narrowly surpassing the 5% threshold to enter the City Council.Table of ContentsElectoral system[edit]Opinion polls[edit]Results[edit]References[edit]Electoral system[edit]The City Council of Barcelona (Catalan: Ajuntament de Barcelona, Spanish: Ayuntamiento de Barcelona) was the top-tier administrative and governing body of the municipality of Barcelona, composed of the mayor, the government council and the elected plenary assembly.[1] Elections to the local councils in Spain were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years.[2]Voting for the local assembly was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in the municipality of Barcelona and in full enjoyment of their political rights, as well as resident non-nationals whose country of origin allowed Spanish nationals to vote in their own elections by virtue of a treaty. Local councillors 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 in each local council.[1][2] Councillors were allocated to municipal councils based on the following scale:PopulationCouncillors100,001+1 per each 100,000 inhabitants or fraction+1 if total is an even numberThe mayor was indirectly elected by the plenary assembly. A legal clause required that mayoral candidates earned the vote of an absolute majority of councillors, or else the candidate of the most-voted party in the assembly was to be automatically appointed to the post. In the event of a tie, the appointee would be determined by lot.[1]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 a determined amount of the electors registered in the municipality for which they were seeking election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates. For the case of Barcelona, as its population was over 1,000,001, at least 8,000 signatures were required.[2]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; 21 seats were required for an absolute majority in the City Council of Barcelona (22 until 1 January 1992).Color key:\u00a0\u00a0Exit pollPolling firm\/CommissionerFieldwork dateSample sizeTurnoutICLead1995 municipal election28 May 1995\u201466.238.41630.61316.677.635.127.8Eco Consulting\/TV3[p 1]28 May 1995??37.416\/1729.712\/1316.26\/78.235.727.7Vox P\u00fablica\/Antena 3[p 1]28 May 1995???16\/17?12\/13?6\/7?3?2?Demoscopia\/Tele 5[p 1]28 May 1995???16\/17?12\/13?7\/8?3\/4?2?Sigma Dos\/COPE[p 1]28 May 1995???16?12\/13?7\/8?3?2?Marketing Telef\u00f3nico\/Avui[p 1]21 May 1995906?34.31636.11713.757.834.201.8Vox P\u00fablica\/El Peri\u00f3dico[p 2]18\u201319 May 1995800?34.215\/1632.014\/1515.2710.244.402.2Opina\/La Vanguardia[p 3]17 May 19951,500?37.916\/1735.315\/1611.158.83\/44.002.6Demoscopia\/El Pa\u00eds[p 4][p 5]10\u201315 May 19951,000?31.314\/1532.614\/1515.86\/710.544.80\/21.3CIS[p 6][p 7]26 Apr\u201311 May 199570065.734.234.614.78.45.80.4Sigma Dos\/El Mundo[p 1][p 5]3\u20137 May 1995500?32.014\/1532.014\/1517.87\/87.736.22TieOpina\/La Vanguardia[p 8]18 Apr 19951,000?38.015\/1640.016\/178.54\/57.03\/45.00\/22.0Vox P\u00fablica\/El Peri\u00f3dico[p 9]29\u201330 Mar 1995800?31.914\/1537.61713.15\/68.844.505.7Atelier-V\/PP[a][p 10]20 Feb 1995800?32.01533.01521.088.026.011.0Gruppo\/ABC[p 11][p 12]9\u201314 Feb 1995400?32.715\/1634.816\/1716.27\/87.735.20\/22.1Opina\/La Vanguardia[p 13]12\u201313 Dec 19941,000?38.116\/1739.3179.847.835.00\/11.2Marketing Telef\u00f3nico\/Avui[p 14]6 Nov 1994??34.816\/1735.816\/18?6\/7?3?0\/21.01994 EP election[3]12 Jun 1994\u201454.323.1(10)31.7(14)23.4(10)11.3(5)5.3(2)8.31993 general election[4]6 Jun 1993\u201477.228.9(13)32.5(15)21.8(10)8.1(3)4.8(0)3.61992 regional election[5]15 Mar 1992\u201455.523.5(10)47.5(22)8.6(3)7.0(3)7.5(3)24.01991 municipal election26 May 1991\u201455.542.92034.1169.846.432.608.8Results[edit]\u2190 Summary of the 28 May 1995 City Council of Barcelona election results \u2192Parties and alliancesPopular voteSeatsVotes%\u00b1ppTotal+\/\u2212Socialists’ Party of Catalonia (PSC\u2013PSOE)347,08338.39\u20134.5616\u20134Convergence and Union (CiU)276,27630.56\u20133.5013\u20133People’s Party (PP)150,28416.62+6.837+3Initiative for Catalonia\u2013The Greens (IC\u2013EV)168,8137.61+0.033\u00b10Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC)46,2725.12+2.552+2Ecologist Alternative of Catalonia (AEC)3,3040.37New0\u00b10Democratic and Social Centre (CDS)1,2560.14\u20130.700\u00b10Revolutionary Workers’ Party (POR)7260.08+0.010\u00b10Civic Platform\u2013New Socialist Party (PC\u2013NPS)5710.06New0\u00b10Workers’ Revolutionary Party (PRT)23760.04\u20130.130\u00b10Platform of Independents of Spain (PIE)3200.04New0\u00b10Humanist Platform (PH)32980.03\u20130.770\u00b10European Nation State (N)1810.02New0\u00b10Blank ballots8,2630.91\u20130.01Total904,02341\u20132Valid votes904,02399.78+0.08Invalid votes2,0150.22\u20130.08Votes cast \/ turnout906,03866.22+10.71Abstentions462,11033.78\u201310.71Registered voters1,368,148Sources[6][7][8][9]Popular votePSC\u2013PSOE\u200938.39%CiU\u200930.56%PP\u200916.62%IC\u2013EV\u20097.61%ERC\u20095.12%Others\u20090.78%Blank ballots\u20090.91%^ Undecided and\/or abstentionists excluded.References[edit]Opinion poll sourcesOther"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/1995-barcelona-city-council-election\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"1995 Barcelona City Council election"}}]}]
