The 2015 Cantabrian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the 9th Parliament of Cantabria, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Cantabria. At stake were all seats in the Parliament, determining the President of Cantabria. The number of members decreased from 39 to 35 compared to the previous election.

The election was held concurrently with the regional elections for 12 other autonomous communities, as well as the 2015 municipal elections.

Electoral system

The number of seats in the Parliament of Cantabria is set to a fixed-number of 35. All Parliament members are elected in a single multi-member district, consisting of the Community's territory (the province of Cantabria), using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system.

Voting is on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 5% of valid votes in all of the community (which include blank ballotsfor none of the above) are entitled to enter the seat distribution.[2]

The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. Poll results use the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. However, if such date is unknown, the date of publication will be given instead.
