"El acta", even though it is feminine, because the next word starts with a stressed "a". However, you have to write "El acta parlamentaria" and "La principal acta".

In plural should be "las actas". - 00e657d4, Apr 6, 2011

Caution: Lazarus´ explaination is absolutely correct, however this usage is for singular only. In plural, there is no conflict of an a and accented a next to one another so it is still las actas in plural.
