The 2015 municipal elections to choose the composition of all of Spain's city councils were held on Sunday, 24 May. They were the 10th such nationwide municipal elections to be held in the country since the Spanish transition to democracy. The municipal elections took place simultaneously across all of the country, while regional elections were also held on the same day in 13 of the country's 17 autonomous communities (regional elections in Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia, and Galicia are held in accordance with a different electoral calendar). ==Electoral system== The number of seats in each city council is determined by the population count. According to the municipal electoral law, the population-seat relationship on each municipality is to be established on the following scale: Additionally, for populations greater than 100,000, 1 seat is to be added per each 100,000 inhabitants or fraction, according to the most updated census data, and adding 1 more seat if the resulting seat count gives an even number. All city council members are elected in single multi-member districts, consisting of the municipality's territory, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 5% of valid votes in all of the municipality (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) are entitled to enter the seat distribution. The Spanish municipal electoral law establishes a clause stating that, if no candidate is to gather an absolute majority of votes to be elected as mayor of a municipality, the candidate of the most-voted party will be automatically elected to the post. 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「Spanish municipal elections, 2015」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
