Castilla y León Sets March 15, 2026 Election Date Contingent on Snap General Vote

The PP fixed a provisional date to avoid holding two elections in quick succession if Spain calls early national polls.

Overview

  • PP regional secretary Francisco Vázquez announced the vote for Sunday, March 15, 2026, with the caveat that it will coincide with any early general election.
  • President Alfonso Fernández Mañueco intends to exhaust the legislature, and the PP says synchronizing ballots would prevent two trips to the polls within months.
  • The party is launching an intensive pre-campaign across provinces to defend its record in education, health, social services and industry.
  • PSOE regional leader Carlos Martínez urged an immediate convocation of elections, attacking the Junta’s performance as negligent and ineffective.
  • The timetable unfolds as national politics remain unsettled, with Sánchez facing questions in Congress on government stability and the PP grappling with Vox’s growth and wildfire-related criticism of the regional administration.
