The General Council had four members for each parish, and so was increased in size from 24 to 28 seats.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p156 978-3-8329-5609-7 Of the four members previously representing the parish of Andorra la Vella, two represented the town of Andorra la Vella and two represented Les Escaldes. As a result of the split of the parish, two additional members were elected from Andorra la Vella and two from Escaldes–Engordany so that each would have four members. The four elected members would serve until the regularly scheduled 1981 elections. Electoral system All candidates had to run on lists, but voters could split between candidates on different lists. Any candidate receiving a majority of the vote was elected in the first round. If there were remaining seats to fill, a second round was held, in which candidates had to receive a majority of the vote to be elected. If there were still remaining seats to fill, a third round would be held in which the candidate(s) with the most votes would be elected. Results Francesc Cerqueda Pasquet and Jaume Bartomeu Canturri were elected in Andorra la Vella, defeating Benet Pantebre Martínez ca and Lluís Viu Torres. Estanislau Sangrà Font and Marcel Besolí Bacó were elected in Escaldes-Engordany, defeating Jaume Casal Vall and Antoni Aristot Gomà.https://pandora.girona.cat/viewer.vm?id=0000740110&page=9 Els candidats a consellers Avui 7 July 1978 Voter turnout was 74% in Andorra la Vella and 72% in Escaldes–Engordany.https://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1978/07/22/pagina-23/33746404/pdf.html Edición del sábado 22 July 1978 23 La Vanguardia es References Andorra Category:1970s in Andorra Category:1978 in Europe Category:Parliamentary elections in Andorra Category:Non-partisan elections Andorra Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results
