The 2007 Castile-La Mancha parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 27 May 2007, to elect the 7th Courts of Castile-La Mancha, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha. At stake were all 47 seats in the Courts, determining the President of the Junta of Communities of Castile-La Mancha.
Electoral system
The number of seats in the Castile-La Mancha Courts was set to a fixed-number of 47. All Courts members were elected in 5 multi-member districts, corresponding to Castile-La Mancha's five provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Each district was assigned a fixed set of seats, distributed as follows: Albacete (10), Ciudad Real (11), Cuenca (8), Guadalajara (7) and Toledo (11).
Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.[1]
