Maragall oversaw the drafting of a new statute of autonomy for Catalonia, which aimed at further expanding the authority of the regional institutions, but negotiations between the national government of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE)—the PSC's sister party—and the Catalan nationalist Convergence and Union (CiU) and ERC were uneasy. ERC left the coalition in May 2006 over disagreements on the final statutory draft approved by the Spanish parliament, thus leaving Maragall in minority.

However, the left-wing bloc formed by the latter—running under the former industry minister of Spain, José Montilla—together with ERC and ICV–EUiA, was able to secure a reduced but still working majority. The People's Party (PP) under Josep Piqué held its ground with a similar result as previous, but remained irrelevant in the government formation process. Citizens–Party of the Citizenry (C's), a new party formed under young lawyer Albert Rivera in opposition to Catalan nationalism and statutory reform, gained parliamentary representation by being able to clear the electoral threshold in the constituency of Barcelona. 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 340/2006 2006 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; LPPCEG 1982 arts. 7 & 47. The previous election was held on 16 November 2003, which meant that the chamber's term would have expired on 16 November 2007. The election was required to be called no later than 1 November 2007, setting the latest possible date for election day on 31 December 2007. 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; LPPCEG 1982 art. 46 (am. amended by LPPCEG 1985 single art.). 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; LPPCEG 1982 arts. 46 & 54. The Parliament of Catalonia was officially dissolved on 8 September 2006 with the publication of the corresponding decree in the Official Journal of the Government of Catalonia (DOGC), setting election day for 1 November.Decree 340/2006 2006 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). 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); LPPCEG 1982 art. 3. 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 340/2006 2006 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.LOREG 1985 arts. 44 & 169.
