The 1981 Galician parliamentary election was held on Tuesday, 20 October 1981, to elect the 1st Parliament of Galicia, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Galicia. At stake were all 71 seats in the Parliament, determining the President of the Xunta of Galicia. Despite predictions pointing that the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD), the then-ruling party in Spain, would maintain the hegemony it had obtained in the general elections of 1977 and 1979, the party came a close second after Manuel Fraga's People's Alliance (AP), which won the election with slightly over 30% of the vote and 26 seats. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) fared better that in the general elections, but did not obtain the expected gains, with just below 20% of the vote and 16 seats. After the election, an agreement between the two most-voted parties allowed Xerardo Fernández Albor from AP to be elected President of the Xunta, as head of a minority cabined with the external support of the UCD. The Galician election of 1981 marked the beginning of the end for the Union of the Democratic Centre as a relevant political force in Spanish politics, confirming its ever more dwindling support among voters and AP's growth at its expense.〔(Twenty years of autonomy in Galicia ), by Jaime Rodríguez-Arana Muñoz (Spanish).

As the community had not passed an electoral law of its own at the time, the electoral system came regulated under Royal Decree 1826/1981, which distributed the Parliament seats as follows: Corunna (22), Lugo (15), Ourense (15) and Pontevedra (19). 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galician parliamentary election, 1981」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
