Cuenca is one of the 52 electoral districts (circunscripciones) used for the Spanish Congress of Deputies - the lower chamber of the Spanish Parliament, the Cortes Generales. It is one of the five electoral districts which correspond to the provinces of Castilla La Mancha. Cuenca's electorate fell between 1996 and 2000 and again between 2000 and 2004 - one of only three districts along with Burgos and Vizcaya where the electorate fell in 2004. This decline continued at the 2008 and 2011 elections. At the time of the 2008 election, Cuenca was the only municipality with more than 10,000 voters, although it still accounted for only 36,000 voters out of the total of 165,000. ==Boundaries and electoral system== Under Article 68 of the Spanish constitution,〔(Spanish Constitution )〕 the boundaries of the electoral district must be the same as the province of Cuenca, and under Article 140 this can only be altered with the approval of congress. Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. The electoral system used is closed list proportional representation with seats allocated using the D'Hondt method. Only lists which poll 3% or more of all valid votes cast, including votes "en blanco" i.e. for "none of the above" can be considered for seats. Under article 12 of the constitution, the minimum voting age is 18. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuenca (Spanish Congress Electoral District)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
