{{Politics of Spain}}

'''Elections in Spain''' encompass four different types: general elections, [[Autonomous communities of Spain|regional]] elections, [[Local government in Spain|local]] elections, and elections to the [[European Parliament]]. General elections and regional elections are typically conducted at the conclusion of the national or regional legislative mandate, which usually spans four years since the previous election. However, early elections can be called in certain circumstances. On the other hand, local council elections (including municipal and insular elections) and elections to the European Parliament follow fixed dates, although some local government bodies, such as [[Provincial deputation (Spain)#Election|provincial councils]], are not directly elected. In most elections, a [[party-list proportional representation]] (PR) system is employed, while the [[Spanish Senate|Senate]] utilizes the [[Plurality block voting|plurality system]].
