All 109 seats in the Parliament were up for election. It was held concurrently with the 1996 Spanish general election. The 1994 election had resulted in a hung parliament. Manuel Chaves had formed a minority government of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party of Andalusia (PSOE–A), but was forced to dissolve the Parliament and call a snap election for March 1996 after barely twenty months into his term, as a result of the conservative People's Party (PP) and left-wing United Left (IULV–CA) joining into an unofficial alliance (dubbed as la pinza, Spanish for "the clamp") to block the Chaves government's parliamentary action. Scandals rocking Felipe González's national government and favourable opinion polls were among the reasons that led the two parties to team up to bring down the PSOE regional government.L. C.

At 77.9%, turnout was the highest ever registered for a regional election in Andalusia.Lucio Lourdes 4 March 1996 https://elpais.com/diario/1996/03/04/espana/825894054_850215.html Chaves logra el quinto triunfo consecutivo del PSOE es El País Seville 7 April 2026Bejarano José 4 March 1996 https://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1996/03/04/pagina-32/33884932/pdf.html Los socialistas conservan su feudo andaluz es La Vanguardia Seville 7 April 2026Bejarano José 5 March 1996 https://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1996/03/05/pagina-31/33926719/pdf.html El estrepitoso final de la "pinza" es La Vanguardia 7 April 2026 This result allowed Chaves to form a coalition government with the Andalusian Party (PA), ending the period of political turmoil that had dominated the previous legislature.Lucio Lourdes 5 March 1996 https://elpais.com/diario/1996/03/05/espana/825980456_850215.html Los socialistas andaluces se decantan por un pacto con el PA es El País Seville 7 April 2026Pedrote Isabel 14 April 1996 https://elpais.com/diario/1996/04/14/espana/829432809_850215.html Chaves incorpora a dos andalucistas a su Gobierno es El País Seville 7 April 2026 Overview Under the 1981 Statute of Autonomy, the Parliament of Andalusia 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 1981 arts. 25, 30–31 & 33. The electoral and procedural rules were supplemented by national law provisions.LEAn 1986 final prov. 1. Date The term of the Parliament of Andalusia expired four years after the date of its previous election, unless it was dissolved earlier. The election decree was required to be issued no later than 25 days before the scheduled expiration date of parliament and published on the following day in the Official Gazette of the Regional Government of Andalusia (BOJA), with election day taking place 54 days after the decree's publication (barring any date within from 1 July to 31 August).Statute 1981 art. 26; LEAn 1986 arts. 14–15 (suppl. supplemented by LOREG 1985 art. 42). The previous election was held on 12 June 1994, which meant that the chamber's term would have expired on 12 June 1998. Due to the ban on summer elections, the election decree was required to be published in the BOJA no later than 7 May 1998, setting the latest legal possible date for election day on 30 June 1998. The regional president had the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament of Andalusia 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.LGAAn 1983 arts. 14 & 55–56 (am. amended by LGAAn 1994 art. 1). The Parliament of Andalusia was officially dissolved on 9 January 1996 with the publication of the corresponding decree in the BOJA, setting election day for 3 March and scheduling for the chamber to reconvene on 29 March.Decree 1/1996 1996 arts. 1–2 & 5.Lucio Lourdes Pedrote Isabel 23 November 1995 https://elpais.com/diario/1995/11/23/espana/817081220_850215.html Chaves anuncia elecciones anticipadas en Andalucía al ser rechazados los presupuestos es El País Seville 7 April 202627 December 1995 https://elpais.com/diario/1995/12/27/portada/820018803_850215.html Chaves 'anuncia' elecciones generales y andaluzas para el 3 de marzo es El País 7 April 2026 Electoral system Voting for the Parliament was based on universal suffrage, comprising all Spanish nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Andalusia 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 1981 arts. 26 & 28; LEAn 1986 art. 2 (suppl. supplemented by LOREG 1985 arts. 2–3). The Parliament of Andalusia had a minimum of 90 and a maximum of 110 seats, with electoral provisions fixing its size at 109. All were elected in eight multi-member constituencies—corresponding to the provinces of Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and Seville, each of which was assigned an initial minimum of eight seats and the remaining 45 distributed in proportion to population (with the number of seats in each province not exceeding two times that of any other)—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 1981 arts. 26 & 28; LEAn 1986 arts. 16–18. 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:Decree 1/1996 1996 art. 3.

Parties and federations intending to form an alliance were required to inform the relevant electoral commission within 10 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.LEAn 1986 arts. 22–23 (suppl. supplemented by LOREG 1985 art. 44).

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. Voting intention estimates The table below lists weighted voting intention estimates. Refusals are generally excluded from the party vote percentages, while question wording and the treatment of "don't know" responses and those not intending to vote may vary between polling organisations. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 55 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Parliament of Andalusia.
