The next Valencian regional election will be held no later than Sunday, 27 June 2027, to elect the 12th Corts of the Valencian Community. All 99 seats in the Corts will be up for election.

The 2023 election resulted in a coalition government being formed between the People's Party (PP) and Vox, with PP's Carlos Mazón becoming the new regional president. The coalition lasted until July 2024, when Vox broke up all of its regional coalition governments with the PP including the Valencian one. On 29 October 2024, catastrophic floods across the province of Valencia shook Mazón's tenure as the mounting death toll and the perceived ill-management of the crisis sparked widespread protests.

Overview

[edit]

Electoral system

[edit]

The Corts Valencianes are the devolved, unicameral legislature of the Valencian autonomous community, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Valencian Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a regional president.[1] Voting for the Corts is on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprises all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in the Valencian Community and in full enjoyment of their political rights.

The 99 members of the Corts Valencianes are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of five percent of valid votes—which includes blank ballots—being applied regionally. Seats are allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of Alicante, Castellón and Valencia, with each being allocated an initial minimum of 20 seats and the remaining 39 being distributed in proportion to their populations (provided that the seat-to-population ratio in any given province does not exceed three times that of any other).[2][3]

As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each Corts constituency is entitled the following seats:

Seats Constituencies
40 Valencia
35 Alicante
24 Castellón

Election date

[edit]

The term of the Corts Valencianes expires four years after the date of their previous election, unless they are dissolved earlier. The election decree shall be issued no later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the date of expiry of parliament and published on the following day in the Official Journal of the Valencian Government (DOGV), with election day taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication. The previous election was held on 28 May 2023, which meant that the legislature's term will expire on 28 May 2027. The election decree must be published in the DOGV no later than 4 May 2027, with the election taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication, setting the latest possible election date for the Corts on Sunday, 27 June 2027.[4][5][6]

The president has the prerogative to dissolve the Corts Valencianes and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence is in process.[7] In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the first ballot, the Corts are to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called.[8]

Parliamentary composition

[edit]

The table below shows the composition of the parliamentary groups in the Corts at the present time.[9]

Current parliamentary composition
Groups Parties Legislators
Seats Total
People's Parliamentary Group PP 40 40
Socialist Parliamentary Group PSPV–PSOE 31 31
Commitment Parliamentary Group Compromís 15 15
Vox Valencian Courts Parliamentary Group Vox 13 13

Parties 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 the constituencies for which they sought election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates.[10][11]

Opinion polls

[edit]

The tables below list opinion polling results 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.

Graphical summary

Voting intention estimates

[edit]

The table below lists weighted voting intention estimates. Refusals are generally excluded from the party vote percentages, while question wording and the treatment of "don't know" responses and those not intending to vote may vary between polling organisations. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 50 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Corts Valencianes.
