The '''2007 Asturian regional election''' was held on Sunday, 27 May 2007, to elect the 7th [[General Junta of the Principality of Asturias|General Junta]] of the [[Principality of Asturias]]. All 45 seats in the General Junta were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with [[2007 Spanish regional elections|regional elections]] in twelve other [[Autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous communities]] and [[2007 Spanish local elections|local elections]] all throughout [[Spain]].

==Overview==
===Electoral system===
The [[General Junta of the Principality of Asturias]] was the [[Devolution|devolved]], [[unicameral legislature]] of the [[Autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Asturias]], having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the [[Spanish Constitution of 1978|Spanish Constitution]] and the [[Statute of Autonomy of the Principality of Asturias|Asturian Statute of Autonomy]], as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a [[President of the Principality of Asturias|regional president]].<ref name="AstSoA">{{cite act |title=[[Statute of Autonomy of the Principality of Asturias|Ley Orgánica 7/1981, de 30 de diciembre, de Estatuto de Autonomía del Principado de Asturias]] |type=Organic Law |number=7 |work=[[Boletín Oficial del Estado]] |language=es |date=30 December 1981 |url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1982-634&tn=1&p=20020702 |access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref>

Voting for the General Junta was on the basis of [[universal suffrage]], which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Asturias and in full enjoyment of their political rights. The 45 members of the General Junta of the Principality of Asturias were elected using the [[D'Hondt method]] and a [[closed list]] [[proportional representation]], with an [[electoral threshold]] of three percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. Seats were allocated to constituencies, which were established by law as follows:

*'''[[Central District (General Junta of Asturias constituency)|Central District]]''', comprising the [[Municipalities of Spain|municipalities]] of [[Aller, Asturias|Aller]], [[Avilés]], [[Bimenes]], [[Carreño]], [[Caso, Asturias|Caso]], [[Castrillón]], [[Corvera de Asturias]], [[Gijón]], [[Gozón]], [[Illas]], [[Las Regueras]], [[Langreo]], [[Laviana]], [[Lena, Asturias|Lena]], [[Llanera, Asturias|Llanera]], [[Mieres]], [[Morcín]], [[Noreña]], [[Oviedo]], [[Proaza]], [[Quirós]], [[Ribera de Arriba]], [[Riosa]], [[San Martín del Rey Aurelio]], [[Santo Adriano]], [[Sariego]], [[Siero]], [[Sobrescobio]] and [[Soto del Barco]].
*'''[[Eastern District (General Junta of Asturias constituency)|Eastern District]]''', comprising the municipalities of [[Amieva]], [[Cabrales]], [[Cabranes]], [[Cangas de Onís]], [[Caravia]], [[Colunga]], [[Llanes]], [[Nava, Asturias|Nava]], [[Onís]], [[Parres]], [[Peñamellera Alta]], [[Peñamellera Baja]], [[Piloña]], [[Ponga, Asturias|Ponga]], [[Ribadedeva]], [[Ribadesella]] and [[Villaviciosa, Asturias|Villaviciosa]].
*'''[[Western District (General Junta of Asturias constituency)|Western District]]''', comprising the municipalities of [[Allande]], [[Belmonte de Miranda]], [[Boal]], [[Candamo]], [[Cangas del Narcea]], [[Castropol]], [[Coaña]], [[Cudillero]], [[Degaña]], [[El Franco]], [[Grado, Asturias|Grado]], [[Grandas de Salime]], [[Ibias]], [[Illano]], [[Muros de Nalón]], [[Navia, Asturias|Navia]], [[Pesoz]], [[Pravia]], [[Salas, Asturias|Salas]], [[San Martín de Oscos]], [[Santa Eulalia de Oscos]], [[San Tirso de Abres]], [[Somiedo]], [[Tapia de Casariego]], [[Taramundi]], [[Teverga]], [[Tineo]], [[Valdés, Asturias|Valdés]], [[Vegadeo]], [[Villanueva de Oscos]], [[Villayón]] and [[Yernes y Tameza]].

Each constituency was allocated an initial minimum of two seats, with the remaining 39 being distributed in proportion to their populations.<ref name="AstELaw">{{cite act |title=Ley 14/1986, de 26 de diciembre, sobre régimen de elecciones a la Junta General del Principado de Asturias |type=Law |number=14 |work=Boletín Oficial del Estado |language=es |date=26 December 1986 |url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1987-3910&tn=1&p=19910327 |access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref>

In smaller constituencies, the use of the electoral method resulted in an [[Electoral threshold#Natural threshold|effective threshold]] based on the [[Electoral district#District magnitude|district magnitude]] and the distribution of votes among candidacies.<ref>{{cite web |last=Gallagher |first=Michael |date=30 July 2012 |url=http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730092518/http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php |url-status=dead |archive-date=30 July 2017 |title=Effective threshold in electoral systems |publisher=Trinity College, Dublin |access-date=22 July 2017}}</ref>

The electoral law allowed for [[Political party|parties]] and [[Political alliance|federations]] registered in the [[Ministry of the Interior (Spain)|interior ministry]], [[Electoral alliance|coalitions]] and [[Grouping of electors (Spain)|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.<ref name="AstELaw"/><ref name="SpaELaw">{{cite act |title=Ley Orgánica 5/1985, de 19 de junio, del Régimen Electoral General |type=Organic Law |number=5 |work=Boletín Oficial del Estado |language=es |date=19 June 1985 |url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1985-11672&tn=1&p=20070323 |access-date=28 December 2016}}</ref>

===Election date===
The term of the General Junta of the Principality of Asturias expired four years after the date of its previous election. Elections to the General Junta were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years. The [[2003 Asturian regional election|previous election]] was held on 25 May 2003, setting the election date for the General Junta on Sunday, 27 May 2007.<ref name="AstSoA"/><ref name="AstELaw"/><ref name="SpaELaw"/>

The president had the prerogative to dissolve the General Junta and call a [[snap election]], provided that no [[motion of no confidence]] was in process, no nationwide election was due and some time requirements were met: namely, that dissolution did not occur either during the first [[legislative session]] or within the legislature's last year ahead of its scheduled expiry, nor before one year had elapsed since a previous dissolution under this procedure. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the first ballot, the General Junta was to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called. Any snap election held as a result of these circumstances would not alter the period to the next ordinary election, with elected deputies merely serving out what remained of their four-year terms.<ref name="AstSoA"/>

==Opinion polls==
The table below lists voting intention estimates in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. 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. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 23 seats were required for an [[absolute majority]] in the [[General Junta of the Principality of Asturias]].
