The 1991 Spanish regional elections were held on Sunday, 26 May 1991, to elect the regional parliaments of thirteen of the seventeen autonomous communities —Aragon , Asturias , the Balearic Islands , the Canary Islands , Cantabria , Castile and León , Castilla–La Mancha , Extremadura , La Rioja , Madrid , Murcia , Navarre and the Valencian Community —, not including Andalusia , the Basque Country , Catalonia and Galicia , which had separate electoral cycles. 784 of 1,178 seats in the regional parliaments were up for election. The elections were held simultaneously with local elections all throughout Spain .
Election date [ edit ] Determination of election day varied depending on the autonomous community , with each one having competency to establish its own regulations. Typically, thirteen out of the seventeen autonomous communities—all but Andalusia , the Basque Country , Catalonia and Galicia —had their elections fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years, to be held together with nationwide local elections.[1] [2] [3]
