The 1983 Aragonese regional election was held on Sunday, 8 May 1983, to elect the 1st Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Aragon. All 66 seats in the Cortes were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in 12 other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) came first in the election by winning exactly half the seats (33 out of 66), 1 short of an absolute majority, with 46.8% of the vote. The People's Coalition, a coalition of centre-right parties including the People's Alliance (AP), the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the Liberal Union (UL) came second with 18 seats and 22.6%, while the Regionalist Aragonese Party (PAR) finished third with 20.5% and 13 seats. The Communist Party of Spain (PCE) and the Democratic and Social Centre (CDS) both obtained 1 seat each with between 3-4% of the vote.
As a result of the election, Socialist Santiago Marraco was elected by the Courts as the first democratically elected President of Aragon.
The Cortes of Aragon were the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Aragon, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Aragonese Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to grant or revoke confidence from a President of the Government. Voting for the Cortes was on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in Aragon and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote.
