Proclamations can be challenged in the contentious-electoral procedure (LOREG arts. 109-117, which bind regional elections); the result does not wait for a court, so there is no court-validation stage."

The fourth Sunday of May 2027 is 23 May, so the decree is expected about 29-30 Mar 2027 (2023: Decreto 32/2023 dated 3 Apr, DOCM 66 of 4 Apr, for 28 May 2023). Snap-election risk is low: Statute art. 22 bars dissolution 'cuando reste menos de un año para su terminación', and an early chamber serves out the original term. 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. Law 5/1986 art. 44.2: 'La Administración autonómica podrá difundir la información provisional sobre los resultados de la elección, con carácter previo al escrutinio general.' 2023 precedent: the Government's site elecciones2023.castillalamancha.es carried the provisional count and later the definitive result. Seats: 33 (Law 5/1986 art. 16: 3 per province plus 18 by population; the decree sets each province's number). 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).",
