What is at stake in La Rioja on 23 May 2027
La Rioja is one of Spain's 17 autonomous communities, with its own parliament and government. Voters elect the 33 members of the Parliament of La Rioja (Parlamento de La Rioja) from party lists, on the same day as municipal elections across Spain; the chamber then elects the regional president. An absolute majority is 17 seats; short of that, a party needs allies or abstentions to win the investiture vote. The current president is Gonzalo Capellán (PP). Main candidates: Gonzalo Capellán (PP), Javier García (PSOE), Ángel Alda (Vox) and Henar Moreno (Podemos).
The parties in the polls:
- People's Party (PP): Spain's main centre-right party.
- Socialist Party (PSOE): Spain's main centre-left party.
- Vox: the national hard-right party.
- Sumar: the left-wing alliance to the left of the PSOE.
- Riojan Party (PR+): a small La Rioja regionalist party.
- Podemos: a left-wing party born from the 2011 anti-austerity protests.
In the 2023 election, on a turnout of 67.8%, PP won 45.4% (17 seats), PSOE won 31.9% (12 seats), Vox won 7.6% (2 seats) and Podemos won 5.1% (2 seats). In 2023 Podemos ran in coalition with other left-wing groups in several regions; the figure is for that list.

How we calculate
- Average: each pollster's latest poll with fieldwork ending in the 90 days before the newest La Rioja poll; a simple average by party. Few regional polls are published, so the window counts back from the newest poll, not from today. Where there is only one, we show that poll and label it “one poll only”.
- Polls commissioned by a party, and polls that only publish seats, are left out of the average. The seats shown are those of the newest poll that publishes them; Sondagio does not calculate its own seat allocation.
- Spanish electoral law (LOREG, art. 69.7) bans publishing polls in Spain in the five days before the vote (18 to 22 May 2027). During that period the figures are frozen.
- Data: every published poll, compiled on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0); the 2023 results come from the same table. Each row links to the original publication. Party colours are indicative.
- Independence: Sondagio's founder has no ties to any candidate or campaign. The averages are calculated by formula from every published poll; no figures are adjusted by hand.
