The 2000 Andalusian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 12 March 2000, to elect the 6th Parliament of Andalusia, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Andalusia. All 109 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with the 2000 Spanish general election.

Incumbent Socialist Manuel Chaves González won with a relative majority of 52, but was re-elected President of Andalusia with the support of the Andalusian Party.

Electoral system

The 109 members of the Parliament of Andalusia were elected in 8 multi-member districts, corresponding to Andalusia's eight provinces, using the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation system. Each district was entitled to an initial minimum of 8 seats, with the remaining 45 seats allocated among the eight provinces in proportion to their populations, on the condition that the number of seats in each district did not exceed 2 times those of any other. For the 2000 election, seats were distributed as follows: Almeria (11), Cadiz (15), Cordoba (13), Granada (13), Huelva (11), Jaen (12), Malaga (16) and Seville (18).

Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. Only lists polling above 3% of valid votes in each district (which includes blank ballots—for none of the above) were entitled to enter the seat distribution.[1][2]
