The 2016 Spanish general election is scheduled to be heldo n Sunday June 26,2016
to elect the 12th Cortes Generales of the Kingdom of Spain
All 350 seats in the Congress of Deputies will be up for election, as well as 208 of 266 seats in the Senate
Background to the election
The 2015 General Election Election heldo n Dec ember 20,2015 was a watershed for Spain, because the PP and the PSOE had previously alternated in power since the restoration of democracy in the 1970s.
No party secured a majority in the 2015 General Election held on Sunday December 20,2015 which had resulted in the most fragmented parliament since 1977
Ensuing negotiations led to a political deadlock, with failure in coalition talks paving the way for a fresh election to take place on June 26,2016
Opinion polls have suggested that Sunday's election may still not overcome the stalemate.
The conservative Popular Party (PP) is tipped to win, but to fall short of a parliamentary majority.
Polls indicate the left-wing Unidos Podemos alliance is edging ahead of the Socialists (PSOE) for second place.
The two could potentially form a broad left-wing coalition.
The centre-right, pro-business party Ciudadanos (Citizens) is forecast to take fourth place.
