The 2027 equivalent of day 15 is Mon 7 Jun. The opening is the ESTIMATED floor (start of the scrutiny).

Statute art. 52: the legislature ends 'al cumplirse cuatro años de la fecha de las elecciones' (28 May 2027); art. 55 lets the President dissolve early; Law 8/1986 art. 11 applies LOREG art. 42. In 2023 the President used a dissolution-and-convocation decree (Decreto 2/2023 of 3 Apr, BOIB 42 of 4 Apr 2023) to vote on 28 May 2023, the day of the municipal elections (fourth Sunday of May, LOREG art. 42.3). 23 May 2027 assumes the same practice (ESTIMATE). Without such a decree, LOREG art. 42.2 (decree on the 25th day before the mandate expires, election on the 54th day after) would put polling day around 27 Jun 2027 (estimate). Snap-election risk: art. 55 has no final-year bar, but no dissolution signal was found. The Junta Electoral Central's 'Elecciones en curso' page listed no election in progress on 30 Sep 2026. Polls: LOREG art. 84.1, 09:00-20:00 (supletory); 20:00 CEST = 18:00 UTC. 2023 precedent: the Government (Conselleria de Presidència) distributed provisional results on its electoral-processes website on polling day. Provisional count only; it excludes the votes of electors resident abroad (CERA), which are counted at the general scrutiny (LOREG art. 75). The window's end (02:00 local time on Monday) is an ESTIMATE; the 2023 time of 100% counted was not verified. Held on the same day as the municipal elections (LOREG art. 42.3).",
