History and past elections
In 1866, a social revolution ended with the promulgation of the New Reform (Nova Reforma) by the
In 1933, universal male suffrage was introduced. Women's suffrage was introduced in 1970.
From 1867 until 1979, parliamentary and local elections were held every two years, but only one half of the seats were up for election. Since 1981, parliamentary elections are held every four years and all members are up for election simultaneously. Same for local elections since 1983. In
In 1993, with the adoption of the new Constitution, Andorra ceased to be a feudal country and a new electoral law was made. Parties were also legalised by then. This law combined the proportional and majority systems. The current law is a revision of the 1993 law made in 2014, and the system is the same.
