In short, depending on where we live and how populated our province is, this will be the value of our vote when it comes to electing Congressional deputies. In regional elections the situation is different: there may be electoral constituencies (as in the case of the elections in Catalonia or Castilla-La Mancha, in which the provinces have a certain representation in the regional Parliament) or not (as occurs in the case of uniprovincial communities). European and municipal elections are different, since the constituency is unique. In these cases it is not necessary to guarantee the presence of any 'sub-territory'.

This makes the results of applying the D'Hont method in these elections similar to those obtained in a system of direct proportionality. Let us say, therefore, that the motto 'one citizen, one vote' is almost fulfilled in the municipal SW Business Directory and European elections. But only almost because, in any case, once the votes have taken place, there is no totally fair form of distribution. An unfair system As has been seen, the injustice in the distribution of seats would be due more to the fact of the division into constituencies and the allocation of seats in each one than to the chosen distribution method itself.



In this sense, if the distribution of deputies assigned to each of the constituencies were done proportionally, then the value of the vote would be more equitable in the different provinces, but the most depopulated provinces would hardly have parliamentary representation. Every time elections are held in Spain, controversy rages about whether or not our electoral regulations should be reformed. However, this controversy disappears when the new parliaments that emerge from the polls are formed. However, it is important that when casting the vote – a citizen right and duty – we are aware of its true value, which is very high.
