The 2015 Riojan parliamentary election will be held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the 9th Parliament of La Rioja, the unicameral regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of La Rioja. At stake will be all 33 seats in the Parliament, determining the President of La Rioja.
The election will be held concurrently with the regional elections for 12 other autonomous communities, as well as the 2015 municipal elections.
Electoral system
The number of seats in the Parliament of La Rioja is set to a fixed-number of 33. All Parliament members are elected in a single multi-member district, consisting of the Community's territory (the province of La Rioja), using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system.
Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 5% of valid votes (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) in all of the community are entitled to enter the seat distribution.[2]
Opinion polls
Vote
Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then no figure is shaded. The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. Poll results use the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. However, if such date is unknown, the date of publication will be given instead.

Results
Notes
- ↑ This survey shows its poll results projected over candidacy votes (that is, votes going for political parties, excluding blank ballots). The vote percentage in the official election is calculated including blank ballots into the estimation. In order to obtain data comparable to both the official results as well as those of other surveys, a rule of three has been applied to the survey projections, with the results of the calculation being shown instead.
