Significance

Depending on the outcome, it could well prompt the national government to call an early general election before May 2019.

Impacts

Anti-immigration sentiment in Andalusia could force the Spanish government to rethink its ‘soft’ approach to immigration.
Poor performances from the main centre-right parties could result in an identity crisis for right-wing Spanish politics.
Strong support for the national ruling Socialist Party may prompt its leaders to focus on Spain's enhanced role in post-Brexit EU.
