Spanish regional elections, 2007

Spanish regional elections, 2007

A number of elections were held in Spain on 27 May 2007:

* municipal elections;
* local elections of various types like the elections to the Cabildo on the Canary Islands;
* elections to the Assembly of Ceuta and Melilla; and
* elections for the regional parliaments of thirteen of the seventeen autonomous communities of Spain: Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile-La Mancha, Castile and León, Extremadura, Madrid, Murcia, Navarra, La Rioja and the Valencian Community (that is, all autonomous communities except for Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia).

The results saw few changes overall; most incumbent governments retained their majority, with only a few exceptions. The conservative government of PP in the Balearics fall, and a coalition lead by PSOE took the power.

While the elections were seen as a first sign for how the upcoming elections in 2008 might turn out, the results proved to be inconclusive. In 2003, the PSOE had a slight edge with 34.8 against the PP's 34.3; in this election, the PP had 35.6 to the PSOE's 34.9. Turnout was slightly lower, with 63.8 instead of 67.7 four years earlier.
