Toledo is one of the five constituencies (Spanish: circunscripciones) represented in the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha, the regional legislature of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. The constituency currently elects nine deputies. Its boundaries correspond to those of the Spanish province of Toledo. The electoral system uses the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation, with a minimum threshold of 3 percent.
The constituency was created as per the Statute of Autonomy of Castilla-La Mancha of 1982 and was first contested in the 1983 regional election. The Statute provided for the five provinces in Castilla-La Mancha—Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo—to be established as multi-member districts in the Cortes of Castilla-La Mancha, with this regulation being maintained under the 1986 regional electoral law. Seats are allocated to constituencies, each entitled to an initial minimum of three seats, with the remaining 18—22 from 1986 to 1998—allocated among the constituencies in proportion to their populations. In 1983 and from 1998 to 2014, each constituency was allocated a fixed number of seats: 9 for Albacete (10 from 1998 to 2014), 10 for Ciudad Real (11 from 1998 to 2012; 12 until 2014), 8 for Cuenca (8 from 2012 to 2014), 7 for Guadalajara (8 from 2007 to 2012; 9 until 2014) and 10 for Toledo (11 from 1998 to 2007; 12 from 2007 to 2012; 13 until 2014).
