2025 Madeiran regional election

A snap regional election was held in Madeira on 23 March 2025, to determine the composition of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The election replaced all 47 members of the Madeira Assembly, and the new members will then elect the President of the Autonomous Region. This election, the third in just one year and a half, was called following the collapse of Albuquerque's government due to the approval of a motion of no confidence in December 2024.

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) won the election by a landslide, with more than 43 percent of the votes, but failed to win an absolute majority of its own by a narrow margin, electing 23 seats to the regional parliament, one short of a majority.

The Together for the People (JPP) was the other big winner of the election, by becoming the second most voted party, surpassing the Socialist Party, with 21 percent of the votes and 11 members in the regional party. The party was again the most voted in their stronghold of Santa Cruz. The Socialist Party (PS) was the big loser of the election, falling to third place, and gathering only 15.6 percent of the votes and 8 seats, losing the status of official opposition to the PSD.

CHEGA also lost votes and seats, falling to 5.5 percent and 3 seats, minus one compared with 2024. CDS – People's Party (CDS–PP) also lost one seat and won just 3 percent of the votes. The Liberal Initiative (IL) held on to their sole seat, with 2 percent of the votes.

People-Animals-Nature (PAN) lost its sole seat, while the Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU) and Left Bloc (BE) failed, again, to win a seat to the Madeira assembly.

The turnout in this election increased, with 56 percent of voters casting a ballot, compared with the 53.4 percent ten months before.
