Check out our interactive tool to discover possible government pacts

With no parties expected to gain the absolute majority of 68 seats needed to fully control the Catalan parliament, a political pact will have to be formed.  

A stunning rise in vote has seen the Socialists neck to neck with pro-independence ERC, with the top three closed out by JxCat. Vox, the far-right party has been one of the winners of the night, coming in as the fourth most powerful party in the Catalan parliament.

Possible pacts include a pro-independence government supported with the votes of ERC, JxCat, and far-left CUP, the leading parliamentary majority in Catalonia since 2015. While ERC has ruled out any government deal with the Socialists, they could in theory reach a left-wing pact including ECP. The prospect of a unionist alliance (PSC, VOX, Cs and PP) would fall short of the seats needed.
