A regional election was held in Aragon on Sunday, 8 February 2026, to elect the 12th Cortes of the autonomous community. All 67 seats in the Cortes were up for election. This marked the first time that an Aragonese president exercised the legal prerogative to call a snap election.
The 2023 election had seen a coalition between the People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party being formed under the presidency of Jorge Azcón. This cabinet lasted until July 2024, when a strategic movement from Vox's national leadership saw the party exiting the government and leaving Azcón in a minority. Discrepancies between PP and Vox during the negotiations of the 2026 budget and Azcón's aim to capitalize on the perceived weakness of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE)—which had seen the farewell and later death of former president Javier Lambán and his succession by Education minister Pilar Alegría—resulted in a snap election being called for February 2026, in a similar move to regional colleague María Guardiola in Extremadura, and one month in advance of a scheduled regional election in Castile and León. Various political parties postponed the start of their campaigns as a mourning gesture in the aftermath of the Adamuz train derailments.
While the PP emerged as the largest political party, its result—underperforming expectations by actually losing support compared to 2023—placed it into a more dependant position to Vox (which doubled its parliamentary representation) that it was before the election, in what was widely seen as a failure in Azcón's early election gamble. The PSOE's decline predicted by opinion polls was confirmed, albeit short of falling below its worst historical result of 2015, whereas the left-wing Chunta Aragonesista capitalized on the losses of United Left and especially Podemos, the latter of which was shut out of parliament. The regionalist Aragonese Party was left without representation for the first time since the first democratic election in the region in 1983.
