Menorca (also Minorca) is one of the four constituencies (Spanish: circunscripciones) represented in the Parliament of the Balearic Islands, the regional legislature of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands. The constituency currently elects 13 deputies. Its boundaries correspond to those of the island of Menorca. The electoral system uses the D'Hondt method and a closed-list proportional representation, with a minimum threshold of five percent.
Until the 2003 election, the results in this district were also used to determine the composition of the Island Council of Menorca—with the same seats—during the same term as the Parliament. From the 2007 election onwards, a separate election is held. Additionally, on 3 April 1979 the first independent election for the Island Council of Menorca was held, electing 12 councillors.[2]
