The 1934 Barcelona City Council election was held on Sunday, 14 January 1934, to elect the Barcelona City Council, the unicameral local legislature of the municipality of Barcelona, together with the other 1,029 Catalan municipalities. At stake were all 40 seats in the City Council, determining the Mayor of Barcelona. These were the first local elections where women were able to vote.
According to the 1932 Statute of Autonomy, the competences on local elections were devolved to the Catalan Government. The electoral system was determined by the Municipal Law. The number of seats in the Barcelona City Council consisted of 40 members.
All City Council members were elected in a single multi-member district, consisting of the Barcelona municipality, using closed lists party block voting: the winning party in number of votes would win the 66% of the seats, the second party would win the 66% of the unfilled seats, and so on. Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot.[1]
