The 2015 Madrilenian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the 10th Assembly of Madrid, the unicameral regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Madrid. At stake were all 129 seats in the Assembly, determining the President of the Community of Madrid. The election was held concurrently with the regional elections for 12 other autonomous communities, as well as the 2015 municipal elections. Cristina Cifuentes ran on behalf of the People's Party (PP), after Esperanza Aguirre's resignation in 2012 and incumbent President Ignacio González' forced withdrawal as a result of several scandals. University professor Ángel Gabilondo ran as the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) candidate after a party internal crisis resulted in the dismissal of Tomás Gómez. Also running were ascending parties Podemos and Citizens (C's). The PP has had an absolute majority in the region for almost all the period since 1995 (with a brief interlude in 2003) and opposition parties attempted to end its rule in the region. Eventually, a PSOE-Podemos alliance came short 1 seat of an overall 65-seat majority, thus allowing the PP to retain the regional government with the support of C's. The left-wing United Left (IU) coalition lost its parliamentary representation for the first time in history as a result of not reaching the required 5% threshold, while Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD), which entered the regional parliament in 2011 for the first time, was nearly obliberated at the polls as a result of losing much of its support to Podemos and C's. ==Electoral system== The number of seats in the regional Assembly was determined by the population count, with 1 seat per each 50,000 inhabitants or fraction greater than 25,000, according to the most updated census data. As the updated population census for the 2015 election is the corresponding to year 2014 (6,454,440), the Assembly size is set to 129 seats All Assembly members were elected in a single multi-member district, consisting of the Community's territory (the province of Madrid), using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 5% of valid votes in all of the community (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution. 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「Madrilenian parliamentary election, 2015」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
