The next Balearic regional election will be held no later than Sunday, 23 June 2019, to elect the 10th Parliament of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands. All 59 seats in the Parliament will be up for election. As per convention, the election is expected to be held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, initially scheduled for 26 May 2019, though the date is likely to be adjusted so as to make it coincide with the 2019 European Parliament election.
The previous election saw a left-wing majority in the Parliament of the Balearic Islands for the first time. After the election, on 30 June 2015, Francina Armengol was elected president, forming a government with the Socialist Party of the Balearic Islands (PSIB), More for Majorca (Més) and More for Menorca (MpM), with the external support of We Can (Podem) and the representative of People for Formentera (GxF). Xelo Huertas, of Podem, took office as the President of the Parliament, the second authority of the region.
In November 2016, Podem decided to cease two party deputies, including Huertas, for trying to benefit another party member's personal interests. On 25 January 2017, Huertas resigned from being President of the Parliament, although she continued in the Mixed Group as an independent deputy, along with Montse Seijas, the other expelled Podem deputy. The parties of the pact, with some disputes, agreed to vote for Podem deputy Baltasar Picornell to become the next President of the Parliament on 14 February 2017.
