Provincial Lists Approved for May 17 Elections

Political parties in Andalusia have finalized their provincial candidate lists for the regional elections scheduled for May 17, 2026. Following the approval of these lists during the week of April 6, 2026, the candidacies are set to be made official on April 12, 2026.

The Vox party has formally presented its candidacies, which were approved by the party’s National Executive Committee (CEN). The party’s strategy for the regional elections involves a distributed leadership structure across the various provinces of Andalusia.

Vox Candidate Designations by Province

Vox has designated specific lead candidates to head its lists in each of the eight Andalusian provinces. Manuel Gavira, the candidate for the presidency of the Junta, will lead the list for the province of Cádiz.

• Sevilla: Javier Cortés
• Málaga: Antonio Sevilla
• Granada: Beatriz Sánchez
• Córdoba: Paula Badanelli
• Almería: Rodrigo Alonso
• Jaén: Benito Morillo
• Huelva: Rafael Segovia

The party considers the process of designating lead candidates for these autonomous elections to be closed following the validation of these lists.

Official Presentation and Party Coordination

To mark the validation of the lists, Vox held a presentation event in Malaga on April 9, 2026. This event featured the participation of the party president, Santiago Abascal.

The province of Malaga also served as the location for meetings between the National Executive Committee and the Political Action Committee, involving both regional and national spokespersons of the party.

Broader Political Context

Other political entities are also finalizing their preparations for the May 17 elections. María Jesús Montero has noted the democratic normality regarding the elaboration of the lists for the PSOE-A.

The electoral process is moving toward the officialization of candidacies as parties align their provincial strategies to contest seats in the regional government.
