The 2019 Castilian-Manchegan regional election will be held on Sunday, 26 May 2019, to elect the 10th Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. All 33 seats in the Cortes will be up for election. The election will be held simultaneously with regional elections in at least seven other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain. The date of the election is likely to be adjusted so as to make it coincide with the 2019 European Parliament election.
The Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha are the devolved, unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Castilian-Manchegan Statute of Autonomy, as well as the ability to grant or revoke confidence from a President of the Junta of Communities. Voting for the Cortes is on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in Castilla-La Mancha and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote. Additionally, Castilian-Manchegan people abroad are required to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).
