Valencia City Council elections


Valencia city council elections have taken place every four years since 1979 to elect the 33 members of the local government for the city of Valencia, Spain.
The elections are held using closed list proportional representation in a single electoral district covering the entire city council area. Only parties which receive 5% or more of the total votes cast are eligible for seats which are then allocated on a proportional basis using the D'Hondt method of allocation. The Mayor of Valencia is chosen by the 33 councillors.
From 1979 to 1991 the Mayor came from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party. From 1991 the Mayor was Rita Barberá Nolla of the People's Party, the party which held an absolute majority of seats on the city council from the 1995 to 2011 local elections, until 2015. After 2015 elections, Joan Ribó, who came second in the elections, was elected mayor with the support of two other parties. In 2019 elections Joan Ribó came first and was elected again as mayor of Valencia.
