Statute art. 38.3: four-year mandate; art. 56: the President may dissolve (not in the first year of the legislature or while a censure motion is pending). Law 1/2022 art. 16.2-3: except after early dissolution, the decree is issued on the 25th day before the mandate ends and the election held on the 54th day after. In 2023 the President used a dissolution-and-convocation decree (Decreto 26/2023 of 3 Apr, BOC 67 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, art. 16 would put polling day around late June 2027 (estimate). 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 local (supletory; Law 1/2022 does not change it); the islands are on WEST (UTC+1) on 23 May, so 20:00 = 19:00 UTC, an hour after the mainland. 2023 precedent: the Government of the Canary Islands published provisional results on resultadoscanarias2023.infoelecciones.com and the app 'Elecciones Canarias 2023'. Two ballots per voter (island and regional constituencies). 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).",
