The regulations currently in force only concern the global calculation of the electoral lists, without being limited to the headings of the list of said candidates, as was the case in this study.
The women will be represented in 37% of the list headlines of the five major political parties overlooking the municipal elections and municipal elections this Sunday, May 28 at the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV), according to data analyzed by EITB Media.
Top of the list PSE-EEimmediately 41.2% of female list heads, followed by EH Bildu (39.7%), Elkarrekin Podemos, Ezker Anitza/IU, Berdeak EQUO, Green Alliance (35%), EAJ/PNV (32.5%) And PP (31.4%).
Parity between women and men in the political sphere is regulated to try always ensure a balanced representation of the electoral lists. In that sense, the Organic law of universal electoral regime requires the balanced composition of the electoral lists submitted for elections to the congress of deputies, the European Parliament, the legislative assemblies of the autonomous regions and municipal elections.
He Article 44a of this law indicates that, in the entire list of elections, the candidates are of one or the other sex cannot be represented in less than 40%. Moreover, when the candidacies are grouped into lists, they must have that too a balanced composition of women and menso that the ratio of one and the other is as close as possible to the numerical balance.
At least the regulations that are currently in force It only concerns the global calculation of the electoral listswithout just sticking to the heads of the list of named candidaciesas has been the case in this study, since they are, after all, the most prominent figures in the run-up to the elections.
This analysis, prepared by EITB Media, therefore corresponds to the heads of the list presented by the five main political parties in the CAVin view of these municipal elections and in all districts of the municipal elections.
