Show answer and explanation
✓ A los diputados y a los senadores
In the general elections the deputies of the Congreso and most of the senators are elected, that is, the Cortes Generales (the Spanish parliament). They are held at most every four years. MEPs are elected in the European elections and councillors in the municipal ones. Trick: general equals the whole country and the Cortes. The Prime Minister is not voted for directly, but chosen by the Congreso.
