Cuenca is one of the five constituencies (Spanish: circunscripciones) represented in the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha, the regional legislature of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. The constituency currently elects five deputies. Its boundaries correspond to those of the Spanish province of Cuenca. The electoral system uses the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation, with a minimum threshold of 3 percent.

Electoral system

The constituency was created as per the Statute of Autonomy of Castilla-La Mancha of 1982 and was first contested in the 1983 regional election. The Statute provided for the five provinces in Castilla-La Mancha—Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo—to be established as multi-member districts in the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha, with this regulation being maintained under the 1986 regional electoral law. Seats are allocated to constituencies, each entitled to an initial minimum of three seats, with the remaining 18—22 from 1986 to 1998—allocated among the constituencies in proportion to their populations. In 1983 and from 1998 to 2014, each constituency was allocated a fixed number of seats: 9 for Albacete (10 from 1998 to 2014), 10 for Ciudad Real (11 from 1998 to 2012; 12 until 2014), 8 for Cuenca (8 from 2012 to 2014), 7 for Guadalajara (8 from 2007 to 2012; 9 until 2014) and 10 for Toledo (11 from 1998 to 2007; 12 from 2007 to 2012; 13 until 2014).[1][2]

Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over eighteen, registered in Castilla-La Mancha and in full enjoyment of their political rights. Amendments to the electoral law in 2011 required for Castilian-Manchegan people abroad to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).[3] Seats are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 3 percent of valid votes—which includes blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. The only exception was in 1983, when a 5 percent threshold was applied regionally. Parties not reaching the threshold are not taken into consideration for seat distribution.[1][2] Additionally, the use of the D'Hondt method may result in an effective threshold over three percent, depending on the district magnitude.[4]

The electoral law provides that parties, federations, coalitions and groupings of electors are allowed to present lists of candidates. However, groupings of electors are required to secure the signature of at least 1 percent of the electors registered in the constituency for which they are seeking election—0.1 percent and, at least, the signature of 500 electors, until 1985—. Electors are barred from signing for more than one list of candidates. Concurrently, parties and federations intending to enter in coalition to take part jointly at an election are required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election being called—fifteen before 1985.[2][5][6][7]
