  Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Spanish Congress of Deputies
A decisive factor in the election was the split of the center-right electorate between the PP and the PAR, which allowed the Socialists to prevail in all three constituencies.
In the 1993 general election in Madrid, this legal requirement resulted in the exclusion of the Social Democratic Center (CDS) ticket from the constituency apportionment process, as the party - which lost all its seats in the election - fell 438 votes short of the three percent threshold.
This system was drastically altered by the 1982 elections, in which the Socialists, led by Felipe González, won a sweeping victory with 202 seats in Congress, out of 350; AP became the major opposition party, while the UCD collapsed; the PCE also lost considerable ground in the election.

Intent to resubmit the defeated bills to a Diet session to be held soon after the election, Koizumi's ruling coalition has picked proponents of postal privatization in all the single-seat districts, including New Komeito members and LDP candidates recruited to challenge the dissidents.
