The 2019 Madrilenian regional election will be held on Sunday, 26 May 2019, to elect the 11th Assembly of the Community of Madrid. All 129 seats in the Assembly will be up for election. As per convention, the election is expected to be held simultaneously with regional elections in 12 other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, though the date may vary so as to make it coincide with the 2019 European Parliament election.
The 129 members of the Assembly of Madrid are elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of 5 per 100 of valid votes—which includes blank ballots—being applied regionally. Parties not reaching the threshold are not taken into consideration for seat distribution. The Assembly is entitled to one member per each 50,000 inhabitants or fraction greater than 25,000, according to the updated data of the population census. Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in the Community of Madrid and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote. Additionally, Madrilenians abroad are required to apply for voting before being permitted to vote, a system known as "begged" or expat vote (Spanish: Voto rogado).
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 at least the signature of 0.5 per 100 of the electors entered in electoral register of the Community of Madrid. 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 from the election call.
