All 109 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The candidate for the PSOE, Manuel Chaves, was invested as President of the Regional Government of Andalusia for the first time, after winning the election with an absolute majority of seats. He would remain in the presidency of this autonomous community for the longest period of time than any of his predecessors, not stepping down from office until 2009. 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. 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 between 54 and 60 days after the decree's publication (amendments earlier in 1990 barred any election date within from 1 July to 31 August).Statute 1981 art. 26; LGAAn 1983 art. 14 (am. amended by LGAAn 1990 art. 1); LEAn 1986 arts. 14–15 (suppl. supplemented by LOREG 1985 art. 42). The previous election was held on 22 June 1986, which meant that the chamber's term would have expired on 22 June 1990. Due to the ban on summer elections, the latest possible date for election day was 30 June 1990, meaning the election decree was required to be published in the BOJA no later than 1 May 1990. The Parliament of Andalusia could not be dissolved before the expiration date of parliament.LGAAn 1983 art. 14 (am. amended by LGAAn 1990 art. 1). The election to the Parliament of Andalusia was officially called on 30 April 1990 with the publication of the corresponding decree in the BOJA, setting election day for 23 June and scheduling for the chamber to reconvene on 16 July.Decree 122/1990 1990 arts. 1 & 4.Lucio Lourdes 26 April 1990 https://elpais.com/diario/1990/04/26/espana/641080808_850215.html Las elecciones andaluzas se celebrarán el sábado 23 de junio es El País Seville 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 122/1990 1990 art. 2.

Parties and candidates The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, alliances and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. 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.
