The 2007 Castilian-Manchegan regional election was held on Sunday, 27 May 2007, to elect the 7th Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. All 47 seats in the Cortes were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in 12 other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.

Electoral system

The number of seats in the Castilla-La Mancha Courts was set to a fixed-number of 47. All Courts members were elected in 5 multi-member districts, corresponding to Castilla-La Mancha's five provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Each district was assigned a fixed set of seats, distributed as follows: Albacete (10), Ciudad Real (11), Cuenca (8), Guadalajara (7) and Toledo (11).

Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.^[1]
