The1995 Ceuta Assembly election was held on Sunday, 28 May 1995, to elect the 1stAssembly of theAutonomous City of Ceuta. All 25 seats in the assembly were up for election. The election was held simultaneously withregional elections in thirteenautonomous communities andlocal elections all throughoutSpain.
TheAssembly of Ceuta was the top-tier administrative and governing body of theautonomous city ofCeuta. Voting for the assembly was on the basis ofuniversal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over eighteen, registered and residing in the municipality of Ceuta and in full enjoyment of their political rights, as well as resident non-nationals whose country of origin allowed Spanish nationals to vote in their own elections by virtue of a treaty.[1][2][3]
The 25 members of the Assembly of Ceuta were elected using theD'Hondt method and aclosed listproportional representation, with athreshold of 5 percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied. Parties not reaching the threshold were not taken into consideration for seat distribution.[1][2][3]
The mayor-president was indirectly elected by the plenary assembly. A legal clause required that mayoral candidates earned the vote of an absolute majority of members, or else the candidate of the most-voted party in the assembly was to be automatically appointed to the post. In case of a tie, a toss-up would determine the appointee.[3]
The electoral law allowed forparties andfederations registered in theinterior ministry,coalitions andgroupings 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.[3][1]
