All 135 seats in the Parliament were up for election. It was a snap election, announced on 25 September by President Artur Mas following the pro-independence demonstration in Barcelona on 11 September—the National Day of Catalonia—and the failed talks between President Mas and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to give greater fiscal autonomy to Catalonia.25 September 2012 http://www.elperiodico.com/es/raiz-tematicas-el-periodico/20120925/mas-convoca-elecciones-25-noviembre-2-diciembre-discurso-debate-politica-general-parlament-2211914 Mas adelanta elecciones al 25-N "para abrir una nueva etapa" es El Periódico de Catalunya 6 December 201725 September 2012 https://www.reuters.com/article/spain-catalonia-elections/spains-catalonia-region-to-hold-early-elections-on-nov-25-idUSE8E8GI01L20120925 Spain's Catalonia region to hold early elections on Nov 25 Reuters 6 December 2017 Despite Artur Mas campaigning to win an absolute majority of seats, Convergence and Union (CiU) suffered an electoral setback which had gone largely unnoticed by opinion polls. The Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC) also fared poorly, obtaining fewer seats than pro-independence Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and ending up as the third parliamentary force overall. In turn, ERC regained much of the strength it had loss in the 2010 election and became the main parliamentary opposition party for the first time. The People's Party (PP) and Citizens (C's) benefitted from the electoral polarization between the pro-independence and anti-independence blocs, scoring their best results until then, with 19 and 9 seats, respectively. The Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) also entered the Parliament for the first time.26 November 2012 https://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/espana/2012/11/25/elecciones-catalanas-2012-batacazo-artur-perder-ciu-12-diputados-quedarse-lejos-absoluta/00031353868996397796631.htm Elecciones catalanas 2012: Batacazo de Artur Mas al perder CiU 12 diputados y quedarse muy lejos de la absoluta es La Voz de Galicia 5 February 2020 Background In the 2010 election, Convergence and Union (CiU) was returned to power after 7 years in opposition, as a result of the electoral collapse of all three parties comprising the "Catalan tripartite" government (Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC), Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and Initiative for Catalonia Greens (ICV). Newly-elected Catalan president Artur Mas was able to govern comfortably thanks to his party's large parliamentary representation allowing for punctual support of several parties on different issues, in what was known as a policy of "variable geometry".6 July 2011 http://ecodiario.eleconomista.es/politica/noticias/3210767/07/11/AV-PSC-PP-y-ERC-critican-la-geometria-variable-de-un-Mas-que-defiende-los-grandes-consensos.html PSC, PP y ERC critican la geometría variable de un Mas que defiende los "grandes consensos" es El Economista 5 February 202018 January 2012 http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/01/18/barcelona/1326885786.html Sánchez-Camacho, a Mas: 'La geometría variable no siempre le saldrá bien' es El Mundo 5 February 2020 In 2011, CiU signed several agreements with the People's Party (PP) in order to pass the 2011 and 2012 budgets, as well as for the approval of several spending cuts. In spite of this, the relationship between both parties quickly deteriorated after the 2011 general election, as a result of Mas asking new Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy for greater fiscal autonomy for Catalonia.11 June 2011 http://www.lavanguardia.com/politica/20110610/54167749453/mas-y-sanchez-camacho-sellan-el-pacto-ciu-pp-para-los-presupuestos.html Mas y Sánchez-Camacho sellan el pacto CiU-PP para los presupuestos es La Vanguardia 5 February 202020 October 2011 http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2011/10/20/actualidad/1319112250_393553.html CiU y PP vuelven a aliarse para mantener los recortes sanitarios es El País 5 February 2020 On 11 September 2012, a massive pro-independence demonstration marked the Catalan political agenda and re-opened the debate about the right to hold a referendum on the independence of Catalonia,12 September 2012 http://www.lavanguardia.com/politica/20120912/54350133584/partidos-catalanes-valoran-manifestacion-independentista.html Los partidos catalanes valoran la manifestación independentista es La Vanguardia 5 February 202023 September 2012 http://www.gara.net/paperezkoa/20120923/363661/es/El-independentismo-marca-agenda-politica-otono-critico-para-Estado-espanol https://web.archive.org/web/20120923200021/http://www.gara.net/paperezkoa/20120923/363661/es/El-independentismo-marca-agenda-politica-otono-critico-para-Estado-espanol dead 23 September 2012 El independentismo marca la agenda política en un otoño crítico para el Estado español es Gara 5 February 2020 24 September 2012 http://www.elperiodico.com/es/noticias/politica/ciuicv-euiaerc-negocian-pactar-una-resolucion-por-autodeterminacion-2210756 CiU, ICV-EUiA, ERC y SI negocian una resolución por la autodeterminación es El Periódico de Catalunya 5 February 2020 as well as the debate about the feasibility of an independent Catalan state and its integration into the European Union. On 25 September 2012, President Artur Mas announced a snap regional election to be held on 25 November and argued, referring to the demonstration, that "this election will not be held to help a party to perpetuate itself in power. It will be held so that the whole of the Catalan population decides democratically and peacefully what will their future be as a nation."24 September 2012 http://ccaa.elpais.com/ccaa/2012/09/25/catalunya/1348575206_207361.html Mas pone rumbo a la autodeterminación es El País 5 February 2020 President Mas signed the decree to officially call the Catalan election on 1 October.1 October 2012 http://www.naciodigital.cat/noticia/47322/mas/ningu/pot/utilitzar/armes/contra/voluntat/poble Mas: "Ningú no pot utilitzar les armes contra la voluntat d'un poble" ca Nació Digital 1 October 2012 Mas' move was criticized as an attempt to try to funnel the popular support for independence seen in the September demonstration into an absolute majority of seats in the election.19 November 2012 http://www.lavanguardia.com/politica/elecciones-catalanas/20121119/54355402676/elecciones-catalanas-mas-pide-mayoria-absoluta-snp-escoces-consulta.html Elecciones catalanas: Mas pide una mayoría absoluta como la del SNP escocés para la consulta es La Vanguardia 5 February 2020 Overview Under the 2006 Statute of Autonomy, the Parliament of Catalonia was the unicameral legislature of the homonymous autonomous community, having legislative power in devolved matters, as well as the ability to grant or withdraw confidence from a regional president.Statute 2006 arts. 55 & 61–64. The electoral and procedural rules were supplemented by national law provisions.Statute 2006 tran. prov. 2 (suppl. supplemented by Statute 1979 trans. prov. 4); Decree 104/2012 2012 add. prov. Date The term of the Parliament of Catalonia expired four years after the date of its previous election, unless it was dissolved earlier. The election was required to be called no later than 15 days before the scheduled expiration date of parliament, with election day taking place between 40 and 60 days from the call.Statute 2006 arts. 56 & 66. The previous election was held on 28 November 2010, which meant that the chamber's term would have expired on 28 November 2014. The election was required to be called no later than 13 November 2014, setting the latest possible date for election day on 12 January 2015. The regional president had the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament of Catalonia at any given time and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence was in process and that dissolution did not occur before one year after a previous one under this procedure.Statute 2006 arts. 66 & 75; LPGG 2008 art. 10. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the first ballot, the Parliament was to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called.Statute 2006 arts. 66–67; LPGG 2008 art. 4. The Parliament of Catalonia was officially dissolved on 2 October 2012 with the publication of the corresponding decree in the Official Journal of the Government of Catalonia (DOGC), setting election day for 25 November.Decree 104/2012 2012 arts. 1–2. Electoral system Voting for the Parliament was based on universal suffrage, comprising all Spanish nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Catalonia and with full political rights, provided that they had not been deprived of the right to vote by a final sentence, nor were legally incapacitated.Statute 1979 trans. prov. 4; Statute 2006 art. 56 (suppl. supplemented by LOREG 1985 arts. 2–3). Amendments in 2011 introduced a requirement for non-resident citizens to apply for voting, a system known as "begged" voting (es Voto rogado).LOREG 1985 art. 75.Reig Pellicer Naiara 16 December 2015 http://www.cafebabel.co.uk/politics/article/spanish-elections-begging-for-the-right-to-vote.html Spanish elections: Begging for the right to vote cafebabel.co.uk 17 July 2017 31 August 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210831202218/https://cafebabel.com/en/article/spanish-elections-begging-for-the-right-to-vote-5ae00a98f723b35a145e6867/ usurped The Parliament of Catalonia had a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 150 seats, with electoral provisions fixing its size at 135. All were elected in four multi-member constituencies—corresponding to the provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona, each of which was assigned a fixed number of seats—using the D'Hondt method and closed-list proportional voting, with a three percent-threshold of valid votes (including blank ballots) in each constituency.Statute 1979 trans. prov. 4; Statute 2006 art. 56 (suppl. supplemented by LOREG 1985 arts. 162–164). The use of this electoral method resulted in a higher effective threshold depending on district magnitude and vote distribution.Gallagher Michael 30 July 2012 http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php Effective threshold in electoral systems Trinity College Dublin Dublin https://web.archive.org/web/20170730092518/http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php 22 July 2017 30 July 2017 As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each Parliament constituency was entitled the following seats:Statute 1979 trans. prov. 4; Decree 104/2012 2012 art. 3.

Concurrently, parties, federations or alliances that had not obtained a parliamentary mandate at the preceding election were required to secure the signature of at least 0.1 percent of electors in the aforementioned constituencies.LOREG 1985 arts. 44 & 169.
