(1) Regional elections were held in Spain during 2001 to elect the regional parliaments of two of the seventeen autonomous communities: the Basque Country and Galicia. 150 of 1,178 seats in the regional parliaments were up for election. The elections were held on 13 May in the Basque Country, and on 21 October in Galicia. Election date Determination of election day varied depending on the autonomous community. Typically, most autonomous communities held their elections on the fourth Sunday of May every four years, concurrently with nationwide local elections, while others had their own, separate electoral cycles. In some cases, regional presidents had the prerogative to dissolve parliament and call for extra elections at a different time, but newly elected assemblies were restricted to serving out what remained of their previous four year-terms without altering the period to their next ordinary election. In other cases—Andalusia (since 1994), the Basque Country (1981), Catalonia (1985) and Galicia (1985)—the law granted regional presidents the power to call snap elections resulting in fresh four-year parliamentary terms.LOREG 1985 art. 42.http://www10.gencat.cat/drep/binaris/_Navarra_esp_tcm112-131870.pdf Un paso más hacia la ruptura de la homogeneidad del calendario electoral de las comunidades autónomas: la reforma de la Ley Orgánica 13/1982, de 10 de agosto, de Reintegración y Amejoramiento del Régimen Foral de Navarra A further step towards breaking the homogeneity of the electoral calendar of the autonomous communities: the reform of the Organic Law 13/1982, of August 10, on Reintegration and Improvement of the Foral Regime of Navarre es Institute of Regional Studies 5 September 2017 bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20150402103345/http://www10.gencat.cat/drep/binaris/_Navarra_esp_tcm112-131870.pdf 2 April 2015 Regional governments The following table lists party control in autonomous communities and cities.
