The '''1999 Catalan regional election''' was held on Sunday, 17 October 1999, to elect the 6th [[Parliament of Catalonia|Parliament]] of the [[Autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Catalonia]]. All 135 seats in the Parliament were up for election.

The election saw the [[Socialists' Party of Catalonia]] (PSC) under former [[Mayor of Barcelona]] [[Pasqual Maragall]] achieve a razor-thin victory in the popular vote, the first time since 1980 that the [[Convergence and Union]] (CiU) alliance of incumbent [[President of the Government of Catalonia|president]] [[Jordi Pujol]] did not come out in top of voters' preferences. However, as a result of the electoral system, CiU was able to retain first place in terms of seats, and together with the conservative [[People's Party of Catalonia|People's Party]] (PP), secure a small majority of 68 seats in the Parliament of Catalonia, compared to the 67 garnered by the combined total of all three left-from-centre parties: the PSC, [[Republican Left of Catalonia]] (ERC) and [[Initiative for Catalonia Greens|Initiative for Catalonia–Greens]] (IC–V). The latter had recently split from its national referent, [[United Left (Spain)|United Left]] (IU), which ahead of the election established a new regional branch, [[United and Alternative Left]] (EUiA), which failed to secure any parliamentary representation.

==Overview==
===Electoral system===
The [[Parliament of Catalonia]] was the [[Devolution|devolved]], [[unicameral legislature]] of the [[Autonomous communities of Spain|autonomous community]] of [[Catalonia]], having legislative power in regional matters as defined by the [[Spanish Constitution of 1978|Spanish Constitution]] and the [[Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 1979|Catalan Statute of Autonomy]], as well as the ability to vote confidence in or withdraw it from a [[President of the Government of Catalonia|regional president]].<ref name="CatSoA">{{cite act |title=Ley Orgánica 4/1979, de 18 de diciembre, de Estatuto de Autonomía de Cataluña |title-link=Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 1979 |type=Organic Law |index=4/1979 |language=es |date=18 December 1979 |publication-date=22 December 1979 |reporter=[[Boletín Oficial del Estado|BOE]] |volume=306 |institution=Jefatura del Estado [Head of State] |jurisdiction=Spain |id=[https://www.boe.es/eli/es/lo/1979/12/18/4 BOE-A-1979-30178] <!--access-date=1 September 2019--> }}</ref> Transitory Provision Fourth of the Statute established a specific electoral procedure for elections to the Parliament of Catalonia, of application for as long as a regional electoral law was not approved, to be supplemented by the provisions within the [[Elections in Spain#Electoral procedures|national electoral law]]. Voting for the Parliament was on the basis of [[universal suffrage]], which comprised all nationals over 18 years of age, registered in Catalonia and in full enjoyment of their political rights.

The 135 members of the Parliament of Catalonia were elected using the [[D'Hondt method]] and a [[closed list]] [[proportional representation]], with an [[electoral threshold]] of three percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each constituency. Seats were allocated to constituencies, corresponding to the [[Provinces of Spain|provinces]] of [[Province of Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Province of Girona|Girona]], [[Province of Lleida|Lleida]] and [[Province of Tarragona|Tarragona]], with each being allocated a fixed number of seats:<ref name="CatSoA"/>

In smaller constituencies, the use of the electoral method resulted in an [[Electoral threshold#Natural threshold|effective threshold]] based on the [[Electoral district#District magnitude|district magnitude]] and the distribution of votes among candidacies.<ref>{{cite web |last=Gallagher |first=Michael |date=30 July 2012 |url=http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php |title=Effective threshold in electoral systems |publisher=Trinity College, Dublin |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730092518/http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/ElSystems/Docts/effthresh.php |access-date=22 July 2017|archive-date=2017-07-30 }}</ref>

===Election date===
The term of the Parliament of Catalonia expired four years after the date of its previous election, unless it was dissolved earlier. The regional president was required to call an election fifteen days prior to the date of expiry of parliament, with election day taking place within sixty days after the call. The [[1995 Catalan regional election|previous election]] was held on 19 November 1995, which meant that the legislature's term would have expired on 19 November 1999. The election was required to be called no later than 4 November 1999, with it taking place on the sixtieth day from the call, setting the latest possible election date for the Parliament on Monday, 3 January 2000.<ref name="CatSoA"/>

The president had the prerogative to dissolve the Parliament of Catalonia and call a [[snap election]], provided that no [[motion of no confidence]] was in process and that dissolution did not occur before one year had elapsed since a previous one under this procedure. In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional President within a two-month period from the first ballot, the Parliament was to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called.<ref>{{cite act |title=Ley 3/1982, de 25 de marzo, del Parlament, del Presidente y del Consell Executiu de la Generalitat |type=Law |number=3 |language=es |date=25 March 1982 |url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/doc.php?id=DOGC-f-1982-90009 |access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite act |title=Ley 8/1985, de 24 de mayo, de modificación de la Ley 3/1982, de 25 de marzo, del Parlamento, del Presidente y del Consejo Ejecutivo de la Generalidad de Cataluña |type=Law |number=8 |language=es |date=24 May 1985 |url=https://boe.es/buscar/doc.php?id=BOE-A-1985-16307 |access-date=14 March 2017}}</ref>

==Parties and candidates==
The electoral law allowed for [[Political party|parties]] and [[Political alliance|federations]] registered in the [[Ministry of the Interior (Spain)|interior ministry]], [[Electoral alliance|coalitions]] and [[Grouping of electors (Spain)|groupings of electors]] to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of at least one percent of the electorate in the constituencies for which they sought election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates.<ref name="SpaELaw">{{cite act |title=Ley Orgánica 5/1985, de 19 de junio, del Régimen Electoral General |type=Organic Law |number=5 |language=es |date=19 June 1985 |url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-1985-11672&tn=1&p=19990422 |access-date=28 December 2016}}</ref>

==Opinion polls==
The tables below list opinion polling results in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. Where the fieldwork dates are unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading party's colour. If a tie ensues, this is applied to the figures with the highest percentages. The "Lead" column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the parties with the highest percentages in a poll.

===Graphical summary===
{{wide image|OpinionPollingCataloniaRegionalElection1999.svg|750px|[[Local regression]] trend line of poll results from 19 November 1995 to 17 October 1999, with each line corresponding to a political party.}}

===Voting intention estimates===
The table below lists weighted voting intention estimates. Refusals are generally excluded from the party vote percentages, while question wording and the treatment of "don't know" responses and those not intending to vote may vary between polling organisations. When available, seat projections determined by the polling organisations are displayed below (or in place of) the percentages in a smaller font; 68 seats were required for an [[absolute majority]] in the [[Parliament of Catalonia]].
