This Sunday, 7th April Andorra goes to the polls for a parliamentary election, with all 28 seats in the General Council up for election. Having won 15 seats in 2015, Demòcrates per Andorra will lose that majority on Sunday, although they will remain the largest party. That's according to the results of a poll carried out by Time Consultants for ElNacional.cat. The survey involved 680 telephone interviews carried out between 7th and 18th March.
Current prime minister Antoni Martí is ineligible for re-election, having already served two terms as head of government. His replacement from centre-right Demòcrates, Xavier Espot, will win between 7 and 11 seats according to our survey. Centre-left Partit Socialdemocràta, appears set to strongly improve on 2015, rising from 3 seats then to between 7 and 9 now. They're followed by Liberals d'Andorra (second in 2015), on 5-7; Terceravia, 1-3, and Ciutadans Compromesos, 2. The poll suggests Socialdemocràcia i Progrés will lose both the seats they won in the last election.
Turnout
27,728 people are eligible to vote in the small Pyrenean principality on Sunday.

If this bears out, it would be notably higher than 2015, when 65.2% of the census voted.
