Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The law seeks to hold regional elections on the same day as municipal elections, the fourth Sunday of May every four years, to avoid dates that reduce turnout and the fatigue caused by separate election calls.
  2. To achieve this, the Statute of Autonomy for Cantabria is amended, following the procedure set out in the Constitution and in the Statute itself.
  3. The new Article 10.3 of the Statute sets the term of regional deputies at four years. The President of the Regional Council calls the elections, and the new Assembly is convened within twenty-five days after the election.

Who it affects

  • Residents of Cantabria: Their regional elections will be held on the fourth Sunday of May every four years, together with municipal elections.
  • President of the Regional Council of Cantabria (Diputación Regional): Must call the elections and convene the new Assembly within the set deadlines.
  • Deputies of the Assembly of Cantabria: Their term lasts four years, and the Assembly can only be dissolved in the cases listed in Article 16.2 of the Statute.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
