Spanish Election Maps
El Diario has mapped out the results of yesterday's Spanish election. Today's election was the second this year and the fourth in as many years. The Spanish Socialist Workers’ party (PSOE) won the most seats in Sunday's election. However their 120 seats was three fewer than they won in April and so the party still has no majority. The extreme far-right Vox party jumped into third place while the centre-right Citizens party saw a collapse in their vote.
El Diario's interactive map of yesterday's results shows the winning candidate in each seat. You can also switch the map so that it visualizes the second most popular party in each seat or the third most popular party in each seat. The map also includes a view which allows you to see only those seats which have changed hands since April's election and which parties won those changing seats.
El Diario has also created an arrow swing map which visualizes how votes have swung in each electoral seat since April's election. On this map blue and red arrows are used to show the size of the swing to the left or right since April (note for U.S. readers in most of the world red is used for left wing parties and blue for right wing parties).
The arrow swing vote shows that although PSOE won the most votes nationwide there was a rightward swing in huge areas of Spain. Only really the provinces of Cantabria, Teruel, Madrid and Balears saw significant numbers of seats with a leftward swing in yesterday's election. This was nowhere near enough to win the PSOE a working majority.
Because PSOE failed to win a majority I would't bet against Spain having at least one other election next year (to make it five elections in five years). However turnout in this election was significantly down on the April election. The turnout in April was 75.5% and yesterday the turnout was 69.9%. This suggest that Spanish voters may be beginning to experience election fatigue.
