The constituency currently elects 25 deputies. Its boundaries correspond to those of the Spanish province of Gipuzkoa. The electoral system uses the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation, with a minimum threshold of 3 percent.

Electoral system

Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes (which includes blank ballots—for none of the above) are entitled to enter the seat distribution.^[1] From the 1984 to 1998 elections the threshold was 5%.^[2]

² Republican Popular Unity results are compared to Communist Party of Spain (Marxist–Leninist) totals in the 1984 election.
³ The 1983 electoral law provided that blank ballots would not count as valid votes for the application of the 5 per 100 threshold in each district. However, this rule was not determinant in excluding any party from seat distribution during its time of application (the 1984 and 1986 elections). As a result and for comparison purposes, blank ballots are shown here included within valid votes.
