The October 2003 Madrilenian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 26 October 2003, to elect the 7th Assembly of Madrid, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Madrid. At stake were all 111 seats in the Assembly, determining the President of the Community of Madrid. This was a snap election, held as a result of the parliamentary deadlock resulting from the May 2003 election and the ''Tamayazo'' scandal. The People's Party (PP) recovered the absolute majority it had lost in the previous election, at the expense of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, which suffered from the scandal of its rebel MPs and lost the opportunity to regain the community's government after 8 years in opposition. United Left (IU) made advances, increasing its vote share, but failing to translate it into new seats. As a result of the election, Esperanza Aguirre was able to be elected as President of Madrid, becoming the first woman to be named to the office. ==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. The updated population census for the October 2003 election was the corresponding to year 2002 (5,527,152), the same than the one for the May 2003 election; thus, the Assembly size was maintained to 111 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, October 2003」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
