this from the Wikipedia so it must be overwelmingly true
"American historian Stanley G. Payne, one of the most prominent foreign Hispanists, has written that the process was a major electoral fraud, with widespread violation of the laws and the constitution.[1] In line with Payne's point of view, in 2017 two Spanish Scholars, Manuel Álvarez Tardío and Roberto Villa García published the result of a research where they concluded that the 1936 elections were rigged."

Spain got unbelievably violent around this time . All left wing until Franco and many other political groups fought back.
I am not endorsing Franco but when the left kill 10000 clergy and others and seize property ( and thats before the civil war ) you can expect unintended consequences
the left are going to get very angry as their lies , bullshit and cheating gets uncovered.
So take care pedes
The article you referenced says this "Turnout was low, failing to reach 40 percent. This was due to the main opposition party, the right-wing CEDA, boycotting the process, a decision which was widely criticized, to no avail."
Can you tell me why the turn out was low and why the right decided to boycott the process? Does that mean the right didn't vote?

40 % seems to be inaccurate/wrong
according to payne the right did receive votes and not far off majority
