Overview
- President Alfonso Fernández Mañueco dissolved the Cortes and signed the decree scheduling the regional vote for Sunday, March 15, 2026.
- The decree sets a 15‑day campaign from 00:00 on February 27 to 24:00 on March 13, with the new Cortes to convene on April 14.
- Castilla y León will elect 82 procuradores—one more due to Segovia’s gain—setting an absolute majority at 42 seats.
- Mañueco reaches the election after governing alone since breaking with Vox in July 2024 and failing to pass the 2025 and 2026 budgets.
- In Extremadura, Vox filed its slate for the Assembly’s Mesa, proposing Ángel Pelayo Gordillo as president, while labeling the PP’s latest offer an “insult” and denying it has broken off talks ahead of Tuesday’s constitutive session.
