The 2007 Cantabrian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 27 May 2007, to elect the 7th Parliament of Cantabria, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Cantabria. At stake were all 39 seats in the Parliament, determining the President of Cantabria.
Electoral system
The number of seats in the Parliament of Cantabria was set to a fixed-number of 39. All Parliament members were elected in a single multi-member district, consisting of the Community's territory (the province of Cantabria), using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system.
Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 5% of valid votes in all of the community (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.[1]
