The 2015 Aragonese parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the 9th Courts of Aragon, the unicameral regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Aragon. At stake were all 67 seats in the Courts, determining the President of the Government of Aragon.

The election was held concurrently with the regional elections for 12 other autonomous communities, as well as the 2015 municipal elections.

Electoral system

The number of seats in the Aragonese Courts is set to a fixed-number of 67. All Courts members are elected in 3 multi-member districts, corresponding to Aragon's three provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Each district is entitled to an initial minimum of 13 seats, with the remaining 28 seats allocated among the three provinces in proportion to their populations, on the required condition that the number of inhabitants per seat in each district do not exceed 2.75 times those of any other. For the 2015 election, seats are distributed as follows: Huesca (18), Teruel (14) and Zaragoza (35).

Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which include blank ballotsfor none of the above) are entitled to enter the seat distribution.[1]
