Regional administrations by leading party in 2026

Regional elections will be held in Spain during 2026 to elect the regional parliaments of at least three of the seventeen autonomous communities: Andalusia, Aragon and Castile and León. At least 258 of 1,212 seats in the regional parliaments will be up for election. The elections were held on 8 February in Aragon, on 15 March in Castile and León, and on 17 May in Andalusia. Additional elections may be held throughout the year in the event of early dissolutions being triggered in other regions.

Election date

Determination of election day varies depending on the autonomous community. Typically, most autonomous communities hold their elections on the fourth Sunday of May every four years, concurrently with nationwide local elections, while others have their own, separate electoral cycles. In some cases, regional presidents have the prerogative to dissolve parliament and call for extra elections at a different time, but newly elected assemblies are restricted to serving out what remain of their previous four year-terms without altering the period to their next ordinary election. In other cases—Andalusia (since 1994), Aragon (2007), the Balearic Islands (2007), the Basque Country (1981), the Canary Islands (2018), Castile and León (2007), Catalonia (1985), Extremadura (2011), Galicia (1985), Navarre (2010) and the Valencian Community (2006)—the law grants regional presidents the power to call snap elections resulting in fresh four-year parliamentary terms.[1][2][3]
