About this election
The electoral system
For European elections Spain forms a single nationwide constituency, and its members of the European Parliament are elected by closed-list proportional representation using the D'Hondt method with no electoral threshold. This makes the European vote the purest available measure of each party's raw national support, free of the province-by-province distortions of a general election, and it allows small and regionally based parties to pool their votes across the whole country into joint lists.
