Parliamentary elections were held in Andorra on 13 December 1979 to elect half of the members of the General Council. In constituencies where no candidate received a majority of the vote, a second round of voting on 20 December.
The elections were held alongside local elections, the last time the two elections were held on the same day.
In 1978 the number of parishes was increased from six to seven with the creation of Escaldes–Engordany by splitting Andorra la Vella. As the General Council had four members for each parish, it was increased in size from 24 to 28 seats. [1] Supplementary elections were held in Andorra la Vella and Escaldes–Engordany in July 1978 to elect four additional members, who would serve until the regularly scheduled 1981 elections. [2]
All candidates had to run on lists of four candidates; although each constituency had two seats, voters had to vote for four candidates, which they could split between candidates on different lists. Any candidate receiving a majority of the vote was elected in the first round. If there were remaining seats to fill, a second round was held, in which candidates had to receive a majority of the vote to be elected. If there were still remaining seats to fill, a third round would be held in which the candidate(s) with the most votes would be elected. [1]
No candidates were nominated in Sant Julià de Lòria. As a result, the municipal councillors of the parish elected two of their own members to the General Council. [3]
A second round was only required in Canillo. [4]

Andorra consists of seven communities known as parishes. Until relatively recently, it had only six parishes; the seventh, Escaldes–Engordany, was created in 1978.
Escaldes–Engordany is one of the seven parishes of Andorra. The Escaldes–Engordany parish was founded in 1978 by being separated from Andorra la Vella. The parish is composed of the areas les Escaldes, Engordany, Els Vilars d'Engordany, Engolasters, and El Fener. As of 2014 it has a population of 13,634, the second largest population after Andorra la Vella. Notable events include the town's annual jazz festival. It borders four parishes: Encamp to the north and northeast, Sant Julià de Lòria in the southwest, Andorra la Vella in the west, and La Massana in the northwest. Escaldes–Engordany also borders Spain in the east, south and southeast.
The General Council is the unicameral parliament of Andorra. It is sometimes referred to as the General Council of the Valleys because it was the historical name and to distinguish it from similarly named bodies in the Val d'Aran and in France.
