The 2020 Basque regional election will be held on Sunday, 12 July 2020, to elect
the 12th Parliament of the Basque Autonomous Community.[1] All 75 seats in the
Parliament will be up for election. The election was initially scheduled for 5
April 2020 but was postponed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] It will be
held simultaneously with a regional election in Galicia.

On 4 February 2020, Lehendakari I�igo Urkullu had discussed holding a snap election
within a cabinet meeting, fulfilling a legal requirement previous to any election
call and sparking speculation that a regional election was imminent.[4][5][6] Six
days later, on 10 February, Urkullu confirmed the election for 5 April, seeking to
distance himself from the convoluted political landscape in Catalonia after a 2020
election in the region was announced by Catalan president Quim Torra.[7][8][9] The
announcement of the Basque election prompted Galician president Alberto N��ez
Feij�o to trigger a snap election in Galicia as well.[10][11] However, on 16 March
it was announced that the vote would be postponed for the duration of the COVID-19
pandemic in Spain, shortly after Prime Minister Pedro S�nchez's declaration of a
nationwide lockdown in the country starting on the previous day.[3][12][13]

Overview
Electoral system
The Basque Parliament is the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous
community of the Basque Country, having legislative power in regional matters as
defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Basque Statute of Autonomy, as well as
the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a lehendakari.[14]

Voting for the Parliament is on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprises
all nationals over eighteen, registered in the Basque Country and in full enjoyment
of their political rights. Additionally, Basques abroad are required to apply for
voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote
(Spanish: Voto rogado).[15] The 75 members of the Basque Parliament are elected
using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a
threshold of three percent of valid votes�which includes blank ballots�being
applied in each constituency. Parties not reaching the threshold are not taken into
consideration for seat distribution. Seats are allocated to constituencies,
corresponding to the provinces of �lava, Biscay and Gipuzkoa, being allocated a
fixed number of 25 seats each to provide for an equal representation of the three
provinces in parliament as required under the regional statute of autonomy.[14][16]
This means that �lava is allocated the same number of seats as Biscay and Gipuzkoa,
despite their populations being, as of 1 January 2020, 329,857, 1,142,923 and
716,530, respectively.[17]

The use of the D'Hondt method may result in a higher effective threshold, depending
on the district magnitude.[18]

Election date
The term of the Basque Parliament expires four years after the date of its previous
election, unless it is dissolved earlier. The election decree shall be issued no
later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the date of expiry of parliament and
published on the following day in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country
(BOPV), with election day taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication.
The previous election was held on 25 September 2016, which means that the
legislature's term will expire on 25 September 2020. The election decree must be
published in the BOPV no later than 1 September 2020, with the election taking
place on the fifty-fourth day from publication, setting the latest possible
election date for the Parliament on Sunday, 25 October 2020.[14][16][19]

The lehendakari has the prerogative to dissolve the Basque Parliament at any given
time and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence is in
process. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a lehendakari
within a sixty-day period from the Parliament re-assembly, the Parliament is to be
dissolved and a fresh election called.[20]

On 4 February 2020, it was revealed that I�igo Urkullu was considering holding a
snap election within a short timeframe and that he had fulfilled legal requirements
for it by raising such hypothesis within a cabinet meeting,[21][22] with 5 April
being regarded as the most likely date.[4] The decision of Catalan president Quim
Torra on 29 January to announce a snap Catalan regional election to be held at some
point throughout 2020 was said to have raised concerns within Urkullu's government,
as the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) sought to prevent the next Basque regional
election from being held simultaneously to prevent any interference from the
Catalan political debate into the Basque campaign.[5][23][24]

Asked in a plenary session of parliament on 7 February on whether he would be

dissolving the chamber within the following days, Urkullu refused to either
explicitly confirm or reject such hypothesis, but asked opposition parties for a
commitment to approve as many legislation as possible "now and in the future".[25]
[26] Sources within the Basque government pointed out that, for an election to be
held on 5 April, the dissolution decree would have to be published in the BOPV on
Tuesday, 11 February, and that if a snap election was to be eventually called the
announcement of it happening could be delayed up to that day.[27][28] Finally,
Urkullu confirmed on 10 February the election date for 5 April, with the subsequent
dissolution of parliament to be made official on the next day.[8][29][30]

Parliamentary status
The Basque Parliament was officially dissolved on 11 February 2020, after the
publication of the dissolution decree in the Official Gazette of the Basque
Country.[31] The table below shows the status of the parliamentary groups in the
chamber at the time of dissolution.[32][33]

Parties and candidates
The electoral law allows for parties and federations registered in the interior
ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates.
Parties and federations intending to form a coalition 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.

In August 2018, Pilar Zabala, the leader of Elkarrekin Podemos, announced that she
would not seek reelection and would leave politics by the end of the legislature.
[48] Ahead of the election, Equo was excluded from the coalition after the party
had broken up with the Unidas Podemos nationwide alliance to join M�s Pa�s in the
lead up to the November 2019 Spanish general election.[49]

Alfonso Alonso had been initially scheduled to repeat as the leading candidate for
the People's Party (PP) in the regional election, having been confirmed for the
post on 10 February 2020.[50][51] However, the negotiation of a coalition with
Citizens (Cs) which the Basque PP received with heavy criticism, amid claims of
having been overruled and swept aside by the party's national leadership in the
coalition talks,[52][53] triggered an internal clash which led national PP leader
Pablo Casado to force Alonso's removal as candidate on 23 February and propose
Carlos Iturgaiz for the post instead.[43]

Opinion polls
The table below lists voting intention estimates 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 given poll. When available,
seat projections are also displayed below the voting estimates in a smaller font.
38 seats are required for an absolute majority in the Basque Parliament.
