This article analyses the behaviour of the Andalusian electorate in the 2007 local election. Its aim is to clear the explanation of the local vote in the region. In doing so, our study measures the effect of the territorial context, the national political agenda and the electorate loyalty towards political parties on the election results. The results show that although local elections are regarded as local events by the Andalusian electorate, voters' evaluations of local politics are determined by their party loyalties toward national organizations, especially in major cities.
