If elections for the Assembly of Álava were held now, the PNV would win with 29.4% of the votes, closely followed by EH Bildu with 28%, according to data from the Sociological Barometer of the Historical Territory of Álava released this Thursday by the Provincial Council of Álava.

According to this projection, the PNV would secure 17 seats, while EH Bildu would get 15. The PSE-EE would have seven seats, and the PP would maintain its current nine representatives. Vox would achieve two seats, Sumar Movement would enter the provincial chamber with one representative, and Elkarrekin Podemos would lose its current three seats.
The PNV would gain two more seats than in the 2023 provincial elections, and EH Bildu one more. The PSE-EE, however, would have two fewer.
