Abstract

This article examines the Spanish Constitutional Court's ruling STC 15/2015, which addressed the unconstitutionality claim against Castilla-La Mancha’s Law 4/2014. The law reduced the number of regional deputies, sparking debates over its constitutionality. The Court dismissed allegations of arbitrariness and violations of principles such as political pluralism or electoral proportionality, ruling that the law adhered to the limits set by the Spanish Constitution and the Castilla-La Mancha Statute of Autonomy. The author highlights the consistency in constitutional jurisprudence regarding proportionality and electoral systems.
