All 33 seats in the General Deputation were up for election. It was held concurrently with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain. For the first time, the People's Party (PP) emerged as the largest party in the General Deputation with an absolute majority of seats and almost 49% of the share, an increase of about eight percentage points from 1991. In contrast, the vote for the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) fell to its lowest level up until that time, losing four of its previously 16 seats and remaining with 12. United Left (IU) benefited from the Socialist defeat and entered the General Deputation for the first time with 2 seats, whereas the Riojan Party (PR)—which had formed the regional government together with the PSOE since 1990—obtained its best result since 1983.29 May 1995 https://elpais.com/diario/1995/05/29/espana/801698418_850215.html Los populares gobernarán por mayoría absoluta es El País 10 December 2019 Turnout, at 76.2%, was the highest to date for a regional election in La Rioja.

Opinion polls The table below lists voting intention estimates in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. Where the fieldwork dates are unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading party's colour. If a tie ensues, this is applied to the figures with the highest percentages. The "Lead" column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the parties with the highest percentages in a poll. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 17 seats were required for an absolute majority in the General Deputation of La Rioja.
