How voting works in municipal elections.

Municipal elections in Spain take place on the Fourth Sunday of May every four years. All residents aged 18 and over who are formally registered as residents with the municipality are eligible to vote, including resident non-national European citizens and those who are citizens of countries with have a reciprocal agreement with Spain, such as the United Kingdom.

Councillors are elected by party-list proportional representation in that the vote is cast for the party as a whole rather than an individual. Each party will have determined who will sit on the council prior to the elections so that the candidates positioned highest on the list tend to get a seat of the council whilst those listed further down will not. The person listed as number 1 is normally the party’s candidate for mayor.

The number of councillors allocated to sit on the municipal council is determined by the size of the population. Xàbia’s registered population is 28,731 which means that it falls into the category 20,001-50,000 which allocates 21 councillors. Thus, each political party presents a candidate list of 21 hopefuls, although only a bizarre and unlikely landslide would see one party take all 21 seats.

The number of seats is allocated using the D’Hondt Method in which the total votes cast for each party determines how many seats the party wins on the council. A party has to attract at least 5% of the vote.

In May 2019, when a total of 8,647 people cast their vote, some 55% of the electorate, the seats were distributed as follows:

  • PSOE (3,873 votes, 45.32%) – 11 seats and absolute majority
  • PP (1,832 votes, 21.44%) – 5 seats
  • CPJ (995 votes, 11.64%) – 2 seats
  • Compromís (827 votes, 9.68%) – 2 seats
  • Cs (564 votes, 6.6%) 1 seat
  • Podemos (407 votes, 4.75%) no seats.
