According to Electomania, Podemos and Ciudadanos are set to end up on a similar number of seats, at around half the number the PP get. Not was expected at the start of the campaign.

Some evidence that Vox voters may be turning out in force I need more information before I'm convinced. I'm really not sure that Vox will be as successful as some are imagining, if they overtake Podemos to take 5th place, I'll be gobsmacked. Plus, comparing turnout between regional and national elections seems a little dodgy to me. |

Unsavoury incident in Barcelona, where some characters have attempted to stop the PP candidate from entering the polling station to vote. Police forced to intervene.

WJ- I share your suspicion of those figures, as El Pais say turnout has increased only 1.43% compared to the last general election. If Vox are to have their surge, I expect they need Andalucia to turn out. On that note, every region was up on last time at the 2pm check. Catalonia at 11.21% up, but over 5% increases in the Basque Country, Navarre, Asturias, Aragon and the North African colonies.

Was about to share that. I would like to see a map of absolute numbers, I have a feeling that the increase in turnout in Catalonia is mostly a recovery to normality after much lower turnout in 2016. Might be wrong on that though? |

Turnout by 18:00 was 60.7%. Compared with 51.2% in 2016.

Are Spanish elections like an episode of "Ready, Steady, Cook!" ?
"Well, the Purple aubergines have taken a seat from the Golden oranges, but the Red peppers have almost elminated the Green peppers"

That's not a good sign for PSOE, indicates little for Vox who I expect to do better in Madrid and The Castilles than in Andalusia. |

I'm sure someone has mentioned here that these numbers often come from Andorra and are then "translated" into fruit and veg. |

Turnout now up massively everywhere. The lowest increase is La Rioja with 6 per cent, then the Canaries with 6.1. Catalonia at a whopping 17 per cent increase.

Most polls seem to be showing the following:
PSOE well above 100
PP down almost half
C's just ahead of Podemos
Vox in a strong 5th
No majority for either bloc, Sanchez favoured to continue governing with the support of separatists. His best case scenario involves just working with the Basque Nationalists, CC and other softer regionalist groupings.
