This is the results breakdown of the election to the Cortes Generales held in Spain on 16 February 1936, with the second round being held on 1 March 1936 and repetitions being held in Cuenca and Granada 3 May 1936. The following tables shows the detailed results in each of the 60 constituencies.
Electoral system Spain had been divided on several multi-member constituencies based on its 50 provinces with large cities becoming constituencies, as well as Ceuta and Melilla, making a total of 58 constituencies. The votes each voter was entitled to cast were 75–80% of the seats at stake in the constituency. For a candidate to be elected in the first round of voting he needed, at least, 20% of votes cast. If this was not achieved, vacant seats were filled through a second round.
The new electoral law approved on July 27, 1933, introduced some changes compared to the one applied in the previous elections of June 1931: if no candidate achieved 40% of the votes on the first round then no candidate would be elected, while in the second round, only those who had reached 8% of the votes could participate. It also suppressed the constituencies of the cities of Granada, Cordoba and Cartagena by raising the amount of inhabitants needed for a city to become a constituency.
As a result of the aforementioned allocation, each Congress multi-member constituency was entitled the following seats: Seats Constituencies 19 Barcelona (city) 17 Madrid (city), La Coruña, Oviedo 15 Barcelona (Province) 14 Badajoz 13 Pontevedra, Valencia (Province), Córdoba, Jaén, Granada 10 Lugo, Toledo, Ciudad Real, Seville (Province) 9 Cáceres, Orense, León, Murcia (Province) 8 Madrid (Province), Málaga (Province) 7 Burgos, Santander, Salamanca, Navarre, Zaragoza (Province), Gerona, Tarragona, Baleares, Valencia (City), Albacete, Huelva, Almería 6 Zamora, Valladolid, Bilbao, Guipúzcoa, Lérida, Castellón, Cuenca, Seville (City), Santa Cruz de Tenerife 5 Ávila, Huesca, Teruel, Las Palmas 4 Málaga (City), Segovia, Palencia, Logroño, Zaragoza (City), Murcia (City), Guadalajara 3 Soria, Vizcaya (Province) 2 Álava 1Ceuta, Melilla
