Spain is heading to the polls after the President of the Spanish Government confirmed an early general election scheduled for 29 November. The snap call follows legislative challenges in parliament and sets in motion a high-stakes autumn campaign that will determine the country’s next governing majority.
The President of the Spanish Government has officially called an early general election, setting the nationwide ballot for 29 November.
The decision to dissolve parliament and bring the vote forward comes amid mounting political pressure following parliamentary defeats over key executive measures. The administration had been facing significant hurdles in passing priority legislation through the national legislature, leading to weeks of intense speculation regarding the stability of the governing coalition.
With the official declaration confirmed, the electoral timetable is formally triggered, leading directly into an intensive national campaign. Voters across the country will head to the polling stations on Sunday, 29 November, to elect members of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, determining the future leadership and legislative agenda of Spain.
