Overview
- The official two-week campaign opened at midnight on Thursday, launching a frantic stretch of rallies, scheduled televised debates and final canvassing before voting on November 29.
- The Diputación Permanente of the Congreso moved to convalidate the housing decree that had triggered the snap election, returning measures on evictions, two‑year rental extensions and a 2% cap on rent rises to the political center of the campaign.
- Most private pollsters continue to project a PP–Vox bloc capable of an absolute majority, while the public CIS poll released at the campaign start forecasts a PSOE plurality and denies the right‑wing bloc a majority.
- Vox is pursuing a transversal strategy that targets former PSOE voters and specific districts such as Murcia, Madrid and Almería where it hopes to overtake the socialists, intensifying visits across provinces and Ceuta.
- Demographic shifts could decide the outcome: there are 1.6 million new registered voters and surveys show younger men leaning right and younger women leaning left, so turnout and constituency-level swings will shape coalition arithmetic after the vote.
