The 2011 Aranese Council Election, was held on Sunday, 22 May 2011, to elect the General Council of Aran, an administrative entity in the province of Lleida (Spain). 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.

As Catalonia has not developed its own electoral law, Aranese elections are regulated by Organic Law No. 5 of 19 June 1985, which regulates elections nationwide.
Election date
The date of the elections is set for the same day that local elections are held in Spain, that is, the fourth Sunday of May every 4 years.Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña Ley 1/2015, de 5 de febrero, del régimen especial de Arán 4 March 2015 https://www.boe.es/eli/es-ct/l/2015/02/05/1 Ley 1/2015 20067–20100 9 May 2022
Parties and candidates
The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of at least one percent of the electorate in the constituencies for which they sought election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates.Organic Law 5 19 June 1985 Ley Orgánica 5/1985, de 19 de junio, del Régimen Electoral General https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1985-11672&tn=1&p=20110716 es Boletín Oficial del Estado 28 December 2016
