Lugo is one of the four constituencies (Spanish: circunscripciones) represented in the Parliament of Galicia—the regional legislature of the Autonomous Community of Galicia—. The constituency currently elects 14 deputies. Its boundaries correspond to those of the Spanish province of Lugo. The electoral system uses the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation, with a minimum threshold of 5 percent.

Electoral system

The constituency was created as per the Statute of Autonomy for Galicia of 1981 and was first contested in the 1981 regional election. The Statute provided for the four provinces in Galicia—A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense and Pontevedra—to be established as multi-member districts in the Parliament of Galicia, with this regulation being maintained under the 1985 regional electoral law.^[1]^[2]

Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in Galicia and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote. Amendments to the electoral law in 2011 required for Galicians abroad to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).^[3] Seats are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 5 per 100 of valid votes—which includes blank ballots; until a 1993 reform, the threshold was set at 3 per 100—being applied in each constituency. Parties not reaching the threshold are not taken into consideration for seat distribution. Additionally, the use of the D'Hondt method may result in an effective threshold over five percent, dependant on the district magnitude.^[4]

The electoral law provides that parties, federations, coalitions and groupings of electors are allowed to present lists of candidates. However, groupings of electors are required to secure at least the signature of 1 per 100 of the electors entered in electoral register of the constituency for which they are seeking election—0.1 per 100 and, at least, the signature of 500 electors, until 1985—. Electors are barred from signing for more than one list of candidates. Concurrently, parties and federations intending to enter in coalition to take part jointly at an election are required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days from the election call.^[2]^[5]^[6]^[7]
