This July 23, voters not only have to worry about deciding which party to vote for but also knowing where they have to do it. The National Institute of Statistics offers citizens different methods of consulting electoral information. Voters can find out which polling station is their turn on the census card that the Electoral Census Office sent weeks ago to each citizen at their home, on the official INE website or even at the official institutions themselves.
The INE offers voters a registration consultation process in the Electoral Census, on its official website. In order to gain access, voters must identify themselves through the Cl@ve system. This will indicate the polling place, the table, section and district where the citizen corresponds to vote.
Voters who cannot access the Cl@ve system can directly visit their Town Hall or Provincial Delegation of the Electoral Census Office to consult any electoral questions. In addition, the INE has a search engine in which entering the province, the municipality and the initial of the voter’s first surname indicates the corresponding polling station and location.
You can only vote at the table indicated by the census. For those voters who have changed their address, it is necessary to verify that their electoral information has been updated. It is possible that citizens whose registration and address changes have not been registered have to go to the corresponding polling station of their old address
To vote, the voter must identify himself with his ID, passport or driving license. If the document is expired, it will still be accepted. However, it is essential to present it in original format, since photocopies are not allowed.
Election day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m. If, at the time the polling stations close, there are still voters waiting to vote, they will be allowed to put their ballot in the ballot box. At that time the scrutiny will begin and the results will be known gradually as the counts of the tables are finished and they are communicated.
