For its part, PSOE-A has maintained practically the same level of electoral support, with 888 votes and 17.11%, just 0.19 points more than in 2022.

Por Andalucía, on the other hand, fell slightly to 287 votes (5.53%), losing 0.75 points compared with the previous regional elections.

Turnout rises considerably in Manilva
One of the most significant aspects of this election day was the substantial increase in voter turnout. A total of 5,244 residents went to the polls, putting turnout at 57.95%, compared with 49.79% in the 2022 Andalusian elections.
This represents a rise of 8.16 percentage points and confirms greater mobilisation of the Manilva electorate compared with the previous regional elections.
As for the technical details of the count, 5,187 valid votes were counted, of which 5,143 were for candidacies and 44 were blank votes. In addition, 57 spoiled votes were recorded on election day.
Comparison with the 2022 Andalusian elections
In the regional elections held in 2022, the PP won broad support in Manilva with 2,012 votes and 49.20%, followed by VOX with 775 votes (18.95%) and PSOE-A with 692 votes (16.92%).
On this occasion, although the PP has again come out on top in the municipality, the increase in turnout has not translated into a higher percentage for the party, while VOX has consolidated its upward trend and the PSOE has kept its electoral base in Manilva practically intact.
