English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

A simulation based on CIS data indicates that if Spaniards over 75 years old voted as a bloc, the PSOE would achieve a resounding absolute majority.

## The vote of those over 75 years old

A recent electoral simulation, based on data from the **CIS** (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas), suggests a surprising political scenario if the vote of individuals over **75 years old** were taken as representative for all of Spain. According to this analysis, almost **50%** of this demographic group would vote for the **PSOE**. If extrapolated to the general electorate, this finding would have drastic consequences on seat distribution and government formation.

## A reversal in the electoral outcome

The extrapolation of these preferences from those over 75 years old to the total census would imply a landslide victory for the **PSOE**. The simulation, conducted using the **Objetivo 176** tool, predicts that the socialists would win in **51 of the 52** electoral constituencies in the country. This would translate into a very wide absolute majority, reaching **218 seats** in the Congress of Deputies. A result that, if confirmed in general elections, would radically change the Spanish political landscape.

## Implications of concentrated voting

This analysis highlights the importance of different age segments in the electorate and how their preferences can shape results. The fact that a specific demographic group, such as those over **75 years old**, shows such a marked inclination towards a particular party, like the **PSOE**, opens up debate regarding campaign strategies and how parties connect with different voting groups.
