Next Aragonese regional election

A regional election will be held in Aragon no later than 10 March 2030 to elect the 13th of the autonomous community. All 67 seats in the will be up for election.

The 2026 snap election saw the People's Party (PP) of incumbent president Jorge Azcón falling well short of an overall majority in parliament, requiring the support of the far-right Vox party to retain power. As a result, Spanish media commented on the possibility of a repeat election in the event of a failure in the government formation process. A repeat election is set to take place on 28 June 2026 if no regional president is elected before 3 May.

Overview

Under the 2007 Statute of Autonomy, the Cortes of Aragon are the unicameral legislature of the homonymous autonomous community, having legislative power in devolved matters, as well as the ability to grant or withdraw confidence from a regional president.

Electoral system

Voting for the is based on universal suffrage, comprising all Spanish nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Aragon and with full political rights, provided that they have not been deprived of the right to vote by a final court ruling.

The of Aragon have a minimum of 65 and a maximum of 80 seats, with the electoral law fixing its size at 67. All are elected in three multi-member constituencies—corresponding to the provinces of Huesca, Teruel and Zaragoza, each of which is assigned an initial minimum of 14 seats and the remaining 25 distributed in proportion to population (with the seat-to-population ratio in the most populated province not exceeding three times that of the least populated one)—using the D'Hondt method and closed-list proportional voting, with a three percent-threshold of valid votes (including blank ballots) in each constituency. The use of this electoral method may result in a higher effective threshold depending on district magnitude and vote distribution.

As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each constituency would be entitled the following seats (as of 11 December 2025):

The law does not provide for by-elections to fill vacant seats; instead, any vacancies arising after the proclamation of candidates and during the legislative term will be filled by the next candidates on the party lists or, when required, by designated substitutes.

Election date

The term of the of Aragon expires four years after the date of their previous election, unless they are dissolved earlier. The election decree shall be issued no later than 25 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of parliament and published on the following day in the Official Gazette of Aragon (BOA), with election day taking place 54 days after the decree's publication. The previous election was held on 8 February 2026, which means that the chamber's term will expire on 8 February 2030. The election decree shall be published in the BOA no later than 15 January 2030, setting the latest possible date for election day on 10 March 2030.

The regional president has the prerogative to dissolve the of Aragon 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 after a previous one. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the 's reconvening, the chamber is to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called.

Current parliament

The table below shows the composition of the parliamentary groups in the chamber at the present time.

Parties and candidates

The electoral law allows for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, alliances and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form an alliance ahead of an election are required to inform the relevant electoral commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors need to secure the signature of at least one percent of the electorate in the constituencies for which they seek election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates. Additionally, a balanced composition of men and women was required in the electoral lists through the use of a zipper system.

Below is a list of the main parties and electoral alliances which will likely contest the election:

Opinion polls

The table below lists opinion polling results in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. Where the fieldwork dates are unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading party's colour. If a tie ensues, this is applied to the figures with the highest percentages. The "Lead" column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the parties with the highest percentages in a poll.

Voting intention estimates

The table below lists weighted voting intention estimates. Refusals are generally excluded from the party vote percentages, while question wording and the treatment of "don't know" responses and those not intending to vote may vary between polling organisations. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 34 seats are required for an absolute majority in the Cortes of Aragon.
