A regional election will be held in the Valencian Community no later than 27 June 2027 to elect the 12th of the autonomous community. All 99 seats in the will be up for election. If customary practice is maintained, the election will be held on 23 May 2027, simultaneously with regional elections in at least seven other autonomous communities and local elections all across Spain.

The 2023 election resulted in a coalition government being formed between the People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox, with PP's Carlos Mazón becoming the new regional president. This coalition lasted until July 2024, when Vox broke up all of its regional coalitions with the PP. On 29 October 2024, catastrophic floods across the province of Valencia shook Mazón's tenure as the mounting death toll and the poor management of the crisis by the Valencian government sparked widespread outcry, causing the PP's popularity to plummet in opinion polls. Mazón resigned in November 2025, after losing his party's support, being replaced as regional president by PP's Juanfran Pérez Llorca.

Background

The 2023 regional election had seen the "Botànic Agreement" of left-of-centre parties being ousted from power by an alliance of the People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party, which formed a coalition government under regional PP leader Carlos Mazón. Negotiations for forming the new Mazón's government coincided with the electoral campaign of the 2023 Spanish general election, a factor which was said to contribute to the PP's electoral disappointment by evidencing the party's willingness to allow the far-right into government despite public pledges to the contrary. This coalition lasted until July 2024, when Vox's national leader Santiago Abascal forced the break up of all PP–Vox regional governments over a controversy regarding the nationwide distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors among the autonomous communities, leading Mazón to immediately dismiss all Vox ministers in his cabinet.

Mazón's tenure was overshadowed by the 29 October 2024 floods across the province of Valencia, caused by torrential rains that brought over a year's worth of precipitation, resulting in one of the deadliest natural disasters in Spanish history with 237 deaths—229 in the province of Valencia alone—and substantial property damage. The Valencian government was criticized for its lack of emergency preparedness and poor disaster response, with Mazón initially downplaying the scale of the floods, then remaining unreachable and his emergency services paralyzed during the most critical hours of the crisis, a late sending of emergency alerts to the endangered population—which arrived when hundreds were already trapped or dying—and the apparent inability of regional authorities to cooperate adequately with the national government. A judicial probe for reckless homicide over alleged negligence in the management of the crisis was opened on several high-ranking regional officers, including the regional minister responsible for emergency services at the time of the floods, while Mazón's popularity plummeted in opinion polls amid his constant changes of story about his whereabouts during the height of the disaster.

Support from the PP's national leadership under Alberto Núñez Feijóo helped Mazón survive calls for his resignation, but his political position remained weak. Public outrage at him was evidenced at the memorial ceremony held on the first anniversary of the tragedy, during which he was jeered and insulted by family members of victims. Added to new evidence hinting at a possible omission of duties while the floods devastated entire towns, and with the judicial investigation closing in on him, Mazón allegedly lost his party's support. With his political demise seeming imminent, the PP descended into chaos on 1–2 November 2025 as the national and regional leaderships vied for controlling his succession. Mazón himself considered resigning and challenged Feijóo by threatening a snap election, while the party crisis deepened due to difficulties in agreeing on a successor and on whether Mazón would be able to retain immunity from judicial prosecution. The latter announced his resignation as regional president on 3 November—claiming that he could not "go on anymore"—pending a negotiation with Vox to elect an interim replacement. The PP selected Juanfran Pérez Llorca to succeed Mazón in the regional presidency, with Vox supporting his investiture on 27 November in exchange for concessions on environmentalism, education, migration and language policy.

Overview Under the 1982 Statute of Autonomy, the are the unicameral legislature of the Valencian Community, having legislative power in devolved matters, as well as the ability to grant or withdraw confidence from a regional president.. The electoral and procedural rules are supplemented by national law provisions..

Date The term of the expires four years after the date of their previous election, unless they are dissolved earlier. The election decree shall be issued no later than 25 days before the scheduled expiration date of parliament and published on the following day in the Official Journal of the Valencian Government (DOGV), with election day taking place 54 days after the decree's publication.; ( by ); . The previous election was held on 28 May 2023, which meant that the chamber's term will expire on 28 May 2027. The election decree must be published in the DOGV no later than 4 May 2027, setting the latest possible date for election day on 27 June 2027.

The regional president has the prerogative to dissolve the at any given time and call a snap election, provided that no motion of no confidence is in process.; . In the event of an investiture process failing to elect a regional president within a two-month period from the first ballot, the are to be automatically dissolved and a fresh election called.; .

An early regional election was ruled out upon the confirmation on 27 October 2025 of an election in Extremadura for 21 December, but gained traction after Mazón lost his party's support two days later over renewed political fallout from his mishandling of the 2024 floods. With the party in disarray amid expectations of his imminent downfall, speculation emerged about going to the polls under a different PP candidate. Mazón reportedly threatened to simultaneously resign from the presidency and call a snap election, seeking to oversee his succession and maintain parliamentary immunity. 28 December 2025, 4 or 18 January 2026 were considered as possible dates in the event of an immediate dissolution of parliament, but the PP faced the problem of not having an electoral candidate. Mazón ultimately announced his resignation on 3 November, with 22 March 2026—according to the legal timetable set by Mazón's resignation—being cited as the most likely date in the event of a failed investiture. Pérez Llorca's investiture as president avoided the risk of an immediate election. New speculation arose during the autumn of 2026, as widespread housing protests across the country led Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to consider a snap general election; the possibility was commented of the PP advancing the regional election to hold it concurrently with the hypothetical nationwide election.

All are elected in three multi-member constituencies—corresponding to the provinces of Alicante, Castellón and Valencia, each of which is assigned an initial minimum of 20 seats and the remaining 39 distributed in proportion to population (with the seat-to-population ratio in any given province not exceeding three times that of any other)—using the D'Hondt method and closed-list proportional voting, with a five percent-threshold of valid votes (including blank ballots) regionally.; .

As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each constituency would be entitled the following seats (as of 11 December 2025):

Following criticism of his handling of the October floods, regional president Carlos Mazón chose to resign outright, forcing the PP to hastily find a replacement. An internal struggle ensued as the regional party floated the candidacy of Vicente Mompó (president of the provincial deputation of Valencia), whereas the party's national leadership favoured Valencia mayor María José Catalá instead. Juanfran Pérez Llorca, Mazón's deputy in the party, was suggested as interim president until an orderly succession could be organized, with this proposal—along with Catalá's reluctance to succeed Mazón, with she ruling herself out on 7 November—being poorly received by the national PP. Mazón announced his will to resign on 3 November, while urging PP and Vox to elect his replacement. On 11 November, the PP proposed Pérez Llorca as Mazón's successor, with him being elected by the on 27 November.
