President before election María Chivite PSN–PSOE Elected President María Chivite PSN–PSOE

The 2023 Navarrese regional election was held on Sunday, 28 May 2023, to elect the 11th Parliament of the Chartered Community of Navarre. All 50 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in eleven other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.

The 2019–2023 term had been dominated by the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had focused most of the efforts of the new government of María Chivite. This period also saw a normalization of the relations between the Socialist Party of Navarre (PSN–PSOE) and the abertzale left, dominated by EH Bildu, with whom the Socialists agreed to pass laws and budgets. On the right, the Navarra Suma alliance between the Navarrese People's Union (UPN), the People's Party of Navarre (PP) and Citizens (Cs) broke up, with the former two engaging in a bitter fight for dominance of their political space as support for the latter collapsed throughout Spain.

The election saw UPN holding out in better shape than anticipated by opinion polls—some of which had predicted a close race with the PSN—but with right-from-centre parties being unable to increase their support from the 2019 election, stagnating at 20 seats. Further, the election saw the entry into parliament for the first time of far-right Vox, with 4.3% and 2 seats. EH Bildu emerged as the third largest political party ahead of Geroa Bai (GBai), whose support collapsed to 13.2% and 7 seats following four years in which it had been a junior coalition partner in government, whereas the alliance of Podemos and the Left (I–E) held out to its 3 seats with 6.1% of the vote.

As a result of the election, President Chivite was able to get re-elected to a second consecutive term in office, the first time a PSN regional president has been able to do so since 1987.

Overview

Electoral system

The Parliament of Navarre was the devolved, unicameral legislature of the Chartered Community of Navarre, having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the Spanish Constitution and the Reintegration and Enhancement of the Foral Regime of Navarre Law, as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a regional president. ^[1] Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Navarre and in full enjoyment of their political rights. Amendments to the electoral law in 2022 abolished the "begged" or expat vote system (Spanish : Voto rogado), under which Spaniards abroad were required to apply for voting before being permitted to vote. ^[2] The expat vote system was attributed responsibility for a major decrease in the turnout of Spaniards abroad during the years it had been in force. ^[3]

The 50 members of the Parliament of Navarre were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with a threshold of three percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied regionally. ^[4]

Election date

The term of the Parliament of Navarre expired four years after the date of its previous election, unless it was dissolved earlier. The election decree was required to be issued no later than the twenty-fifth day prior to the date of expiry of parliament and published on the following day in the Official Gazette of Navarre (BON), with election day taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication. The previous election was held on 26 May 2019, which meant that the legislature's term would have expired on 26 May 2023. The election decree was required to be published in the BON no later than 2 May 2023, with the election taking place on the fifty-fourth day from publication, setting the latest possible election date for the Parliament on Sunday, 25 June 2023. ^{[1] [4] [5]}

The president had the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament of Navarre and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence was in process, no nationwide election was due and some time requirements were met: namely, that dissolution did not occur either during the first legislative session or within the legislature's last year ahead of its scheduled expiry, nor before one year had elapsed since a previous dissolution under this procedure. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a three-month period from the election date, the Parliament was to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called. ^[1]

The election to the Parliament of Navarre was officially triggered on 4 April 2023 after the publication of the election decree in the BON, setting the election date for 28 May and scheduling for the chamber to reconvene on 16 June. ^[6]

Parties and candidates

The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of at least one percent of the electorate in Navarre, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates. ^{[4] [5]}

There was debate on whether the Navarra Suma (NA+) alliance between the Navarrese People's Union (UPN), Citizens–Party of the Citizenry (Cs) and the People's Party (PP) would be renewed ahead of the 2023 election, ^[26] with some members within UPN advocating for their party to run under their own label instead while at most allowing some members from PP and Cs to be incorporated as independents within their lists. ^{[27] [28]}

UPN suffered a split following a troubling vote in the Congress of Deputies on the issue of labour reform on 3 February 2022, when deputies Sergio Sayas and Carlos García Adanero broke party discipline and voted against the reform proposed by Pedro Sánchez's government, almost succeeding in bringing it down despite the UPN leadership having pledged its support to the law. ^[29] As a result, both Sayas and Adanero had their party membership suspended, ^{[30] [31]} who then pledged to run on their own under a brand new platform. ^{[32] [33]} This was materialized during an event held on 14 June 2022, when the platform—provisionally dubbed as "Navarre Platform" (Spanish : Plataforma Navarra) ^[34] —was publicly announced, with the support of former high-ranking UPN officers such as former regional Development minister Luis Zarraluqui or former mayor of Estella Begoña Ganuza, among others. ^{[35] [36] [37]} By the end of 2022, this platform had entered talks with the PP to evaluate the prospects of fielding a joint list to the regional election. ^{[38] [39]}

Opinion polls

The tables below list opinion polling results in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. Where the fieldwork dates are unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading party's colour. If a tie ensues, this is applied to the figures with the highest percentages. The "Lead" column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the parties with the highest percentages in a poll.

Graphical summary

Local regression trend line of poll results from 26 May 2019 to 28 May 2023, with each line corresponding to a political party.

Voting intention estimates

The table below lists weighted voting intention estimates. Refusals are generally excluded from the party vote percentages, while question wording and the treatment of "don't know" responses and those not intending to vote may vary between polling organisations. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 26 seats were required for an absolute majority in the Parliament of Navarre.

Aftermath

Further information: Second government of María Chivite

Investiture processes to elect the president of the Government of Navarre required for an absolute majority—more than half the votes cast—to be obtained in the first ballot. If unsuccessful, a new ballot would be held 24 hours later requiring only of a simple majority—more affirmative than negative votes—to succeed. If such majorities were not achieved, successive candidate proposals would be processed under the same procedure. In the event of the investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a three-month period from the election date, the Parliament would be automatically dissolved and a snap election called. ^[1]
