On the last day to register coalitions for the general election, the alternative left arrives with closed alliances in a few constituencies . Negotiations between Frente Amplio and Podemos are not over and will continue until the last hour, especially in the Madrid constituency. 

The Community of Madrid is the main source of tension and the chances of agreement are slim, although there has been some progress and agreements have been reached in several communities.

In the Canary Islands , Nueva Canarias and Subil have reached an agreement to run for office under the name Unidad del Pueblo Canario.

In the Balearic Islands , Ara Més has reached an agreement to join Suma and IU.

In Aragon, Chunta Aragonesista, Izquierda Unida, Movimiento Subil, Partido Verde Aragón and Recortes 0 have announced a coalition agreement in which they will stand for election under the name Frente Amplio Aragón.

In the Valencian Community there has been no agreement between Esquerra Unido and Rodríguez.

The deadline is midnight.

The political parties have until 12 p.m. on Friday night to formalize the coalitions they will present for the 29 November general election.

Such alliances shall be communicated to the relevant Electoral Boards, both to the Provincial Boards when their scope is limited to one constituency and to the Central Electoral Board (JEC) when they extend to more than one province, and shall include the name of the coalition, the rules governing it and the holders of the governing or coordinating bodies.

The Ministry of the Interior has explained that there is no public register of electoral coalitions, nor should they be registered in the Register of Political Parties, nor registered as an association, and that they can only be formed by political parties and party federations.

Electoral legislation provides thatthe parties that make up the  coalition may not nominate their own candidacy in the constituencies where such an alliance is submitted.

Nomination of candidates

Once the coalitions have been formalized, the parties, federations, coalitions and electoral groupings shall nominate candidates for Congress and the Senate to the provincial electoral boards between 21 and 26 October.

These provisional lists shall be published in the Official Gazette of the State (BOE) and the time limit for correcting irregularities shall be opened.

On November 3, the nominations will be finally released  % and the campaign will officially begin on November 13.
