Incumbent President

Carles Puigdemont
PDeCAT (JxSí)

The next Catalan regional election will be held no later than Monday, 11 November 2019, as provided by the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, to elect the 12th Parliament of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. All 135 seats in the Parliament will be up for election.

After the 2015 election, pro-Catalan independence parties held a majority in the Parliament, but incumbent President Artur Mas and his Junts pel Sí (JxSí) alliance—made up primarily by Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC) and Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC)—required the support from the Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) to get to office. However, the CUP's decision to vote against his investiture forced Mas to retire his bid at the last minute in order to prevent a new election, with mayor of Girona Carles Puigdemont being elected as President of a CDC–ERC coalition instead. Shortly thereafter, CDC was re-founded as the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT).

Puigdemont announced his will not to seek re-election in a future election, in which the JxSí aliance was not expected to be re-edited. Additionally, on 13 March 2017, Mas was barred from holding public office for a period of two years by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia for holding the 2014 self-determination referendum defying the Constitutional Court of Spain instructions against doing so, thwarting his plans to run for election as PDeCAT candidate.
