Balearic parliamentary election, 1991

The 1991 Balearic parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 26 May 1991, to elect the 3rd Parliament of the Balearic Islands, the unicameral regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. At stake were all 59 seats in the Parliament, determining the President of the Balearic Islands.

Electoral system

The number of seats in the Balearic Parliament was set to a fixed-number of 59. All Parliament members were elected in 3 multi-member districts, each corresponding to one of the three largest islands in the archipelago: Majorca was entitled 33 seats; Minorca with 13 and Ibiza with 12, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Additionally, Formentera elected one member using plurality voting.

Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which include blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.
