Girona is one of the 52 electoral districts (Spanish: circunscripciones) used for the Spanish Congress of Deputies - the lower chamber of the Spanish Parliament, the Cortes Generales. It is one of four electoral districts which correspond to the provinces of Catalonia. Girona is the largest municipality although it only has 60,000 voters out of the total electorate of 457,000. Figueres is the second largest municipality with 28,000 voters. There are no other municipalities with electorates over 25,000. The district has traditionally been one of the weakest for the national parties of the right, who, since 1982, have only won a seat on one occasion in the district. It was one of only two districts in the 2004 election (along with Lleida) where the People`s Party (PP) failed to win a seat. With the PP gaining a seat in Lleida in 2008, Girona is now the only district without PP representation.
