Real-time monitoring of the last councilors assigned in the 10 most populated cities and which matches are played


Once the counting of the election day has begun, there are continuous dances of councilors. How many votes is a party away from snatching the last mayor in dispute from another formation? You can check below for the 10 largest municipalities in Spain (and on this other page, the seats at stake in the Autonomous Communities). Until the count is over, there will be seats that can change political acronyms, sometimes based on a few thousand votes.

Madrid City Council

José Luis Martínez-Almeida aspires to revalidate the mayor's office of the capital without having to depend on other parties of the right-wing bloc, while the PSOE relies on the former Minister of Industry Reyes Maroto.

Barcelona City Council

The pacts seem necessary in Barcelona, due to the tightness of the vote for mayor, to which Collboni (PSC), Trias (Junts) and Colau (Barcelona en Comú) aspire.

Valencia City Council

The left bloc of Compromís and PSOE aspires to reissue the absolute majority obtained in 2019 to take over the mayor's office.

Seville City Council

The city with the largest population in which the PSOE governs will predictably depend on pacts to take control.

Zaragoza City Council

Zaragoza, which has had three different mayors in the last three legislatures, will change its ruler again: the PP aspires to improve the 2019 data that allowed it to govern with the support of Vox and CS, but its mayor is running for president of Aragon.

Malaga City Council

Francisco de la Torre is presented for the sixth time as candidate of the Popular Party to the mayor of Malaga, which governs since 2000.

Murcia City Council

The mayor of Murcia changed hands a year ago due to a motion of censure that handed the baton of command to José Antonio Serrano (PSOE), after more than two decades of popular hegemony.

Palma City Council

The mayoralty of the Balearic capital falls to José Hila, who two legislatures ago distributed it thanks to a government pact, two years each, with the candidate of Més per Palma.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council

The former Minister of Health Carolina Darias (PSOE) aspires to become mayor of a city in which the Socialists have governed with pacts in the two previous legislatures.

Bilbao City Council

Juan Mari Aburto (EAJ-PNV) is running for re-election to the mayor's office he has held since 2015 and in which he has become the highest paid councilor of the City Councils of Spain.

He receives every afternoon the bulletin Diario de elecciones, written by the deputy director of EL PAÍS Claudi Pérez. And here, the x-ray of all the communities that go to the polls.
