All 13 seats in the council were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain. Overview Electoral system The General Council of Aran is elected every four years on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprises all nationals over eighteen who can vote in the local elections in any of the 9 municipalities that make up Aran. It was officially established after the 1991 elections and is made up of 13 members. According to Law 16/1990, of July 13, on the special regime of the Val d'Aran, it is made up of the Síndic of Aran, the General Councilors (Occitan: Conselhers Generaus), that work in plenary, and by the Commission of Accounts Auditors (Occitan: Commission d'Auditors de Compdes).https://www.boe.es/buscar/pdf/1990/BOE-A-1990-19959-consolidado.pdf Ley 16/1990, de 13 de julio, sobre régimen especial del Valle de Arán. Boletín Oficial del Estado es In every election, electors choose the General Councilors, that will later elect the Síndic, who acts as the head of government. Aran is divided in six electoral districts, whose borders coincide with those of the "thirds" (Occitan: Terçon, Catalan: Terçó, Spanish: Tersón), a traditional division of the valley. In every district, members are allocated using the proportional D'Hônt method with closed lists, with an electoral threshold of five percent of the valid votes in every district.http://www.juntaelectoralcentral.es/cs/jec/documentos/ValledeAran_2015_Convocatoria.pdf DECRETO 46/2015, de 31 de marzo, de convocatoria de elecciones al Consejo General de Arán.
