Overview

Electoral system

The Parliament of Galicia was the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Galicia, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Galician Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a regional president.ACT, Galician Statute of Autonomy of 1981, Ley Orgánica 1/1981, de 6 de abril, de Estatuto de Autonomía para Galicia, Organic Law, 1, es, 6 April 1981,weblink 8 August 2017, Voting for the Parliament was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Galicia and in full enjoyment of their political rights.The 75 members of the Parliament of Galicia were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of three percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. Seats were allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of La Coruña, Lugo, Orense and Pontevedra, with each being allocated an initial minimum of 10 seats and the remaining 35 being distributed in proportion to their populations.ACT, Ley 8/1985, de 13 de agosto, de elecciones al Parlamento de Galicia, Law, 2, es, 13 August 1985,weblink 8 August 2017, As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each Parliament constituency was entitled the following seats:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left;" bgcolor="#E9E9E9" align="center"! width="50"| Seats! width="200"| Constituencies 24A Coruña (Parliament of Galicia constituency)>La Coruña{{font color(+2)}} 21Pontevedra (Parliament of Galicia constituency)>Pontevedra{{font color(+2)}} 15Lugo (Parliament of Galicia constituency)>Lugo, OrenseThe use of the D'Hondt method might result in a higher effective threshold, depending on the district magnitude.WEB, Gallagher, Michael, 30 July 2012,weblink Effective threshold in electoral systems, Trinity College, Dublin,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20170730092518weblink">weblink 22 July 2017, 2017-07-30, 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.ACT, Ley Orgánica 5/1985, de 19 de junio, del Régimen Electoral General, Organic Law, 5, es, 19 June 1985,weblink 28 December 2016,

Election date

The term of the Parliament of Galicia expired four years after the date of its previous election, unless it was dissolved earlier. The election decree was required to 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 Galicia (DOG), with election day taking place between the fifty-fourth and the sixtieth day from publication. The previous election was held on 24 November 1985, which meant that the legislature's term would have expired on 24 November 1989. The election decree was required to be published in the DOG no later than 31 October 1989, with the election taking place up to the sixtieth day from publication, setting the latest possible election date for the Parliament on Saturday, 30 December 1989.After legal amendments in 1988, the president was granted the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament of Galicia and call a snap election, provided that it did not occur before one year had elapsed since a previous dissolution under this procedure. 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.ACT, Ley 1/1983, de 22 de febrero, de normas reguladoras de la Xunta y su Presidencia, Law, 1, es, 22 February 1983,weblink 8 August 2017,

Opinion polls

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; 38 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Parliament of Galicia (36 until 24 November 1985).{{efn|The Law No. 2 of 13 August 1985 set the Parliament's size at 75, but it was established that such a provision would not be applicable to the first election held after the law's passing.}}{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" style="text-align:center; font-size:95%; line-height:16px;" style="height:42px; background-color:#E9E9E9"!
