The 2015 Andalusian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 22 March 2015, to elect the 10th Parliament of Andalusia, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia. At stake were all 109 seats in the Parliament, determining the President of the Regional Government of Andalusia. While the legislature theoretically lasted until 2016, tension rising within the coalition government between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and United Left (IU) paved the way for a snap election to be held sometime during 2015. After a week of speculation, this was confirmed on 26 January 2015, when Susana Díaz officially set the snap election for 22 March. Andalusia has traditionally been considered a PSOE stronghold, being the only region of Spain in which no other party has headed the community's government; PSOE winning all elections (municipal, regional, European and general) since 1977 except for those held in 2011 and 2012. The PSOE under President Susana Díaz regained first place from the People's Party (PP), which became the big election loser after losing 500,000 votes and 17 seats from 2012 and scoring its worst result since 1990. All in all, PSOE's result, with just over 35%, was the worst of its history in the region, after a strong performance by newcomers Podemos and Citizens, gathering 24 seats and just under 1 million votes between the two of them. IU, the former coalition partner of the PSOE, suffered from Podemos' surge and fell from 12 to 5 seats, also to its worst historical result, while Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD) remained unable to enter Parliament and lost votes. ==Electoral system== left The 109 members of the Parliament of Andalusia were elected in 8 multi-member districts, corresponding to Andalusia's eight provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Each district was entitled to an initial minimum of 8 seats, with the remaining 45 seats allocated among the eight provinces in proportion to their populations, on the condition that the number of seats in each district did not exceed 2 times those of any other. For the 2015 election, seats were distributed as follows: Almeria (12), Cadiz (15), Cordoba (12), Granada (13), Huelva (11), Jaen (11), Malaga (17) and Seville (18). Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which includes blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia (2007); Title IV.
