The polling stations opened their doors at 9:00 a.m. this Sunday in the 791 authorised centres. This is the first time in the history of Extremadura that regional elections have been called early, separated from the rest of the communities and in December, on the eve of Christmas.
It all began on 27 October, when the president of the Junta, María Guardiola, announced the dissolution of the Assembly after the blocking of the 2026 Budget. Vox and the PSOE presented a joint amendment that overturned the regional accounts, which led to the earliest call for elections in Extremadura's democracy.
