Government. Days from election day to the Real Decreto appointing the President of the Government (BOE): 2011 (20 Nov) to RD 1822/2011 of 20 Dec (30); Nov 2019 (10 Nov) to RD 1/2020 of 7 Jan 2020 (58); 2023 (23 Jul) to RD 828/2023 of 16 Nov (116); 2016 (26 Jun) to RD 414/2016 of 30 Oct (126). The 2015 and April 2019 elections produced no investiture and ended in repeat elections under art. 99.5 (from Wikipedia, not checked against BOE). A government market needs a deadline beyond the longest precedent and should allow for a repeat election. Precedents: 30 and 58 and 116 and 126 days from polling day.

    →
    precedent
    LOREG art. 84.1: voting runs 'a las nueve horas ... hasta las veinte horas', local time. On 22 Aug 2027 the peninsula, Balearics, Ceuta and Melilla are on CEST (UTC+2), closing 18:00 UTC; the Canary Islands on WEST (UTC+1), closing 19:00 UTC. The Government's provisional count comes from copies of each polling station's tally (art. 98.2, 'a los solos efectos de facilitar la información provisional'). 2023 precedent: the Ministry of the Interior's results site (resultados.generales23j.es) and app began releasing provisional Congress results 'desde las 21 horas, tras el cierre de los colegios electorales en Canarias' (La Moncloa/Interior press note, 20 Jul 2023), with the ministers' results briefing planned for about 22:30. The window's end (06:00 CEST Monday) is an ESTIMATE: the 2023 time of 100% counted was not verified. Provisional only; it excludes the votes of electors resident abroad (CERA), which are counted at the general scrutiny (art. 75).

    announced
    LOREG art. 103.1: the general scrutiny by each Provincial Electoral Board 'se realiza el quinto día siguiente al de la votación' (Fri 27 Aug 2027), starting at 10:00 (art. 104.2; CERA votes are counted first that morning, art. 75); art. 107.2: it must end 'no más tarde del octavo día posterior' (30 Aug). After one day for claims, one for the board's decision and a possible appeal to the Junta Electoral Central, the boards proclaim the elected members (art. 108.2-4) - an estimated early-to-mid September. Art. 108.6: the Junta Electoral Central publishes the general and per-constituency results in the BOE 'en el periodo de cuarenta días' - by Fri 1 Oct 2027. Precedent 2023: JEC Resolution of 30 Aug 2023 publishing the results of both chambers appeared in BOE no. 209 of 1 Sep 2023 (BOE-A-2023-18907), day 40 exactly, with a correction on 14 Sep 2023 (BOE-A-2023-19537). The opening is an ESTIMATED floor (the first board scrutinies); the window closes at the end of Mon 4 Oct 2027 CEST, one BOE working day past the statutory day 40 plus a weekend. Proclamations can be challenged before the Supreme Court within 3 days (art. 112), judgment by day 37 (art. 114.1), then amparo before the Constitutional Court (3 + 15 days); 2023 had such a case for Madrid (STC 95/2023 of 12 Sep 2023). Court confirmation is not required, so there is no court-validation stage.

    announced
    Constitution art. 68.6: the elected Congress must be convened within 25 days of the election (by 16 Sep 2027); the convocation decree fixes the day (2023: Real Decreto 400/2023 art. 5 set the constitutive sessions for 17 Aug 2023, day 25). Art. 99: after consultations the King proposes a candidate, who needs an absolute majority of the Congress, or a simple majority 48 hours later; if no candidate is invested within two months of the first vote, both chambers are dissolved and new elections held (art. 99.5). No opening time is set here because the constitutive session date is not yet known. The Senate plays no part in the investiture.
