Electoral system Voting for the
European Parliament in
Spain was based on
universal suffrage, which comprised all
Spanish nationals and resident non-national
European citizens over 18 years of age with full
political rights, provided that they had not been
deprived of the right to vote by a final
sentence. Amendments in 2022 abolished the "begged" voting system (), under which
non-resident citizens were required to
apply for voting. The begged vote system was attributed responsibility for a major decrease in the turnout of Spaniards abroad during the years it was in force. 61 European Parliament seats were allocated to Spain as per the
Treaty of Lisbon and subsequent acts. All were elected in a single multi-member constituency—comprising the entire
national territory—using the
D'Hondt method and
closed-list proportional voting, with no
electoral threshold. The use of this electoral method resulted in an
effective threshold depending on
district magnitude and vote distribution. The law did not provide for
by-elections to fill
vacant seats; instead, any vacancies arising after the proclamation of candidates and during the legislative term were filled by the next candidates on the
party lists or, when required, by designated
substitutes.
