Monday to Friday afternoon.

With unprecedented mobilization at the polls, first unofficial polls gave the winner, at the end of the elections, Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE), which would give between 116 and 121 seats. Currently, it has only 84 deputies.

Among the news of these elections, the third generals in the last three and a half years, this year traditional urns were not made. At 8 pm (local time), when they closed the more than 23,000 polling stations that normally operated for 11 hours of voting, data from a survey conducted by the consultant GAD3, based on several telephone waves made between April 22 and 27.

According to this poll, Pablo Casado's PP would get between 69 and 73 deputies. Citizens would get between 48 and 49 seats. Unidos Podemos, between the ages of 42 and 45, and Vox, the party that raised high expectations in these elections, could accommodate between 36 and 38 MPs in Parliament.

Neither the left nor the right would get an absolute majority in this way. Sanchez's party and its congressional partners, United Podemos, can not add enough. The question is whether the PSOE will need independents or not to achieve the majority needed to govern.

In Catalonia, where 18% more people voted than in the last elections, Esquerra Republicana would get between 13 and 14 seats in Parliament, which would make it the largest political force of the Catalan independence movement.

The three rights would also not get the seats needed to form a government.

The strong participation of nearly 37 million Spaniards called to vote during these early elections, they revealed, among the new keys of interpretation, that the "who wins the rules" is no longer guaranteed. Nobody can guarantee that this first position in number of votes will guarantee governability.

Despite in Spain, it is not compulsory to vote, people have found an interest in a new electoral landscape, where the historical bipartisans languished in the hands of a conflict with more political actors: five parties – PP, PSOE, Ciudadanos, Unidas Podemos and Vox – , a party that debuts in these elections and a fragmented right that can wipe out any post-election pact attempt.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, while there was still two hours of voting, the turnout was 60.75%, or 9.5 points higher than the 39, election of 2016.
