The 2012 Azorean regional election (Portuguese: Eleições regionais dos Açores de 2012) was an election held on 14 October 2012 for the legislative assembly and government of the Portuguese autonomous region of the Azores.[1][4] in which the Socialist Party nominee, under the leadership of Vasco Cordeiro won an absolute majority with 49% of the vote, in comparison to their direct rivals, the Social Democratic Party (led by Berta Cabral), who achieved only 33% of the vote. Voter turnout was low (although higher than in 2008) with just under 47.9% of the electorate casting their ballot on election day.
