The next Catalan regional election will be held on or before Monday, 11 November 2019, as provided by the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia,[1] to elect the 12th Parliament of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. All 135 seats in the Parliament will be up for election.

After the 2015 election, pro-Catalan independence parties held a majority in the Parliament, but incumbent President Artur Mas and his Together for Yes (JxSí) alliance—made up primarily by Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC) and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC)—required the support from the Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) to get to office. However, the CUP's decision to vote against his investiture forced Mas to retire his bid at the last minute in order to prevent a new election, with mayor of Girona Carles Puigdemont being elected as President of a CDC–ERC coalition instead.[2] Shortly thereafter, CDC was re-founded as the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT).[3]

Puigdemont announced his will not to seek re-election in a future election,[4] in which the JxSí aliance was not expected to be re-edited.[5][6] Additionally, on 13 March 2017, Mas was barred from holding public office for a period of two years by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia for holding the 2014 self-determination referendum defying the Constitutional Court of Spain instructions against doing so, thwarting his plans to run for election as PDeCAT candidate.[7]

Overview

Electoral system

The Parliament of Catalonia is the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Catalonia, having legislative power in matters of regional competence as underlined by the Spanish Constitution and the Catalan Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to grant or revoke confidence from a President of the Generalitat.[8][9] Voting for the Parliament is on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in Catalonia and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote. Additionally, Catalans abroad are required to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).[10]

The 135 members of the Parliament of Catalonia are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 3 per 100 of valid votes—which includes blank ballots—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 three percent, dependant on the district magnitude.[11] Seats are allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. Each constituency is allocated a fixed number of seats: 85 for Barcelona, 17 for Girona, 15 for Lleida and 18 for Tarragona.[8][9][12]

The electoral law provides that parties, federations, coalitions and groupings of electors are allowed to present lists of candidates. However, parties, federations or coalitions who have not obtained a mandate in the Parliament at the preceding election are required to secure at least the signature of 0.1 per 100 of the electors entered in electoral register of the constituency for which they are seeking election, whereas groupings of electors are required to secure the signature of 1 per 100 of electors. 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.[13][14]

Election date

Article 56 of the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 2006 establishes that the term of the Parliament expires four years from the date of its previous election, unless it is dissolved earlier. Article 56 also requires for the President of the Generalitat to call an election fifteen days prior to the date of expiry of Parliament, with election day taking place within from forty to sixty days after the call. The previous election was held on 27 September 2015, which meant that the legislature's term would expire on 27 September 2019. The election was required to be called no later than 12 September 2019, with it taking place on the sixtieth day from the call, setting the latest possible election date for the Parliament at Monday, 11 November 2019.

Article 75 of the Statute grants the President the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament at any given time and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence is in process and that dissolution does not occur before one year has elapsed since a previous one under this procedure. Additionally, under Article 67 the Parliament is to be dissolved and a new election called if an investiture process fails to elect a regional President within a two-month period from the first ballot.[8][9]

Background

The 2015 election resulted in pro-Catalan independence Together for Yes (JxSí) (a coalition comprising the two main centre-right and centre-left Catalan parties at the time, Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC) and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), together with several minor parties) and Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) holding a slim majority of seats, despite not securing a majority of votes as was their objective. President Artur Mas' JxSí coalition also fell short of its goal to secure an absolute majority on its own, obtaining 62 seats to the combined 63 of the remaining opposition parties.[15] Thus, Mas found himself dependant on CUP's support for securing his nomination to be re-elected to the office. The CUP, however, found difficulty in supporting Mas, who was viewed has having been tainted by several corruption scandals involving his party, CDC.

Both JxSí and the CUP submitted on 28 October 2015 a parliamentary motion declaring the "beginning of the process towards the independence of Catalonia as a republic",[16][17] a move seen by many as a concession from JxSí to the CUP so that it would support Artur Mas' investiture.[18] This move, however, was met with stiff opposition from all other parties, which regarded it as "risky" and "illegal",[19] and did not succeed in bringing the CUP to terms, which kept refusing to invest Mas as regional premier and advocated for other candidates to be proposed.[20] On 10 November 2015, the first ballot of Artur Mas' investiture vote was held, with 62 voting favourably to Mas' election (only those of JxSí) and 73 against (those from all other parties). The unsuccessful vote set up the start of the legal timespan of two months for election a new President before the Parliament's automatic dissolution and the forced call of a new election.[21] A subsequent second ballot on 12 November also proved inconclusive, and further ballots were suspended until JxSí and the CUP were able to solve the deadlock.[22] Negotiations between JxSí and the CUP then ensued, but without success.

Popular Mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau's personal involvement during the election campaign and Podemos' promise on holding a legal self-determination referendum on Catalonia resulted in a resounding victory for Podemos' brand, En Comú Podem (Catalan for "In Common We Can"), at the regional level in the 2015 Spanish general election held on 20 December. ERC scored a distant second place, while Democracy and Freedom (DL), the coalition formed by Mas' party CDC and replacing the defunct Convergence and Union (CiU), finished fourth.[23][24][25] This was seen as a major setback for the sovereignist cause, as Catalans had massively voted for a political option that supported the celebration of a referendum on the independence issue but that also advocated for Catalonia's permanence within Spain, and was said to motivate the CUP's subsequent definitive denial to re-elect Mas as regional premier.[26] After the general election, JxSí made a last offer to the CUP, which involved a "transitional presidency" formed by four people, which would, nonetheless, be led by Mas.[27]

Following a long process of internal debate to determine whether the party should support Mas' investiture or force the call of a new election, the CUP's assembly held on 27 December 2015 resulted in a draw between both options, with 1,515 out of 3,030 registered party supporters voting for each choice.[28] CUP leaders called on JxSí to come up with an alternative candidate for premier, something which the latter's member parties, however, refused.[29] Finally, the CUP's leadership narrowly decided in a vote held on 3 January to definitely oppose Mas' investiture. JxSí members accused the CUP of torpedoing the independentist cause and refused to withdraw Mas' candidacy on the grounds that "there is no alternative".[30] CUP's leader and candidate for the 2015 Catalan election, Antonio Baños, resigned the following day, claiming that he did not share his party's decision as he perceived that it weakened the independence process.[31][32] ERC leader Oriol Junqueras called on 4 January for both CDC and the CUP to keep negotiating to prevent a new election that he saw as "negative for Catalonia", but avoided to note on whether he thought Artur Mas should step aside or not.[33] Artur Mas stated on 5 January that JxSí was not making any new proposals, pleaded guilt on "having trusted the CUP" and announced that he would sign the election call decree on 11 January for a fresh election to be held on 6 March.[34] Then-acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy acknowledged the same day that he saw "no alternative to a repeat of elections in Catalonia" after the fracture of the pro-independence alliance.[35] This however did not transpire: a last minute deal was struck between JxSí and the CUP to ensure a separatist government, although without Mas as President.[2]
