Extremaduran parliamentary election, 1983 Registered 786,200 Turnout 565,244 (71.9%)
The 1983 Extremaduran parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 8 May 1983, to elect the 1st Assembly of Extremadura , the unicameral regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Extremadura . At stake were all 65 seats in the Assembly, determining the President of Extremadura .
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) under pre-autonomic President Juan Carlos Rodríguez Ibarra won the election with an absolute majority of seats. The People's Coalition , an electoral alliance led by the People's Alliance (AP) and including the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the Liberal Union (UL), emerged as the second largest force obtaining 20 seats, with United Extremadura (EU) and the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) also entering the Assembly, winning 6 and 4 seats respectively.
Electoral system
The number of seats in the Extremaduran Assembly was set to a fixed-number of 65. All Assembly members were elected in 2 multi-member districts, corresponding to Extremadura's two provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. As the community had not passed an electoral law of its own at the time, the electoral system came regulated under the community's Statute of Autonomy, which distributed the Assembly seats as follows: Badajoz (35) and Cáceres (30).
Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot . Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which include blank ballots—for none of the above ) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.[1]
