On Sunday, May 28, municipal elections will be held throughout Spain and regional elections in twelve communities. Voters will be able to start voting from 9 in the morning, at which time the polling stations will open their doors. Voting will last until 8:00 p.m. It will be then when the doors will close and the scrutiny will begin.
To vote, voters must identify themselves through one of the following options: DNI, passport, driver’s license, residence card (citizens of the European Union) or identity card (foreign nationals of countries with which Spain does not have a reciprocity agreement to vote in the municipal). These documents can be Spanish or issued by the country of origin. Any of them must contain the photograph of its owner and must be presented in its original format; photocopies will not be accepted.
You can only vote at the polling station and the polling station that corresponds to each voter (you must look at the census card that the Electoral Census Office sent to homes). They can do it from 9 in the morning. Even so, the schools will open earlier for the constitution of the tables with the presence of the president and the designated members and the auditors and proxies of the political formations.
Citizens will have time to exercise their right to vote until 8:00 p.m., when all the polling stations will close. If at that time there are still people who want to vote and have not done so, the table will allow their vote. Then the scrutiny will begin. In territories where two elections coincide, the local elections will be counted first and then the regional ones. Ultimately, and where appropriate, the votes will be counted to choose the representatives of the island councils.
