This election will allocate all 350 seats in the Congress of Deputies, Spain’s primary legislative body. If no single party receives an outright majority in Congress ⎯ a likely scenario ⎯ the parties will negotiate until they form a governing coalition.

Originally scheduled for the end of the year, the vote is the first time Spain has held a general election so late in the summer, causing concern about turnout. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of PSOE, the mainstream social-democratic party, called a snap election after a poor result among left-leaning parties during regional and local elections in May.
PSOE is challenged on the right by PP, a mainstream conservative and Christian democratic political party led by Senate member Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
If PP or PSOE fails to win a majority, center-right PP may look to form a coalition with the far-right Vox, led by Santiago Abascal, a member of the Congress of Deputies. Similarly, the center-left PSOE may look to form a coalition with Sumar, a coalition of 20 progressive and regional political parties led by Yolanda Díaz, the second deputy prime minister and labor minister. Sumar includes Unidas Podemos, a leftist party that won 35 seats in 2019, which is struggling after its meteoric rise just eight years ago.
If either of those coalitions fail to reach a majority in parliament, they will have to garner the support of smaller regional parties.
In addition to the Congress of Deputies, 208 seats will also be allocated in the Senate, a territorial chamber, but that body does not take part in electing the prime minister.
