One of the most important aspects when going to vote in municipal and regional elections is knowing which school and table the voter has to go to. In case of doubt, you can consult the census card that the Electoral Census Office sent weeks ago to each citizen at his home. Registration in the census can also be checked through the website of the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
In this case, we must go to the section dedicated to it at the INE headquarters and identify ourselves by means of a DNIe, digital certificate or the Cl@ve system. Once the access is completed, the section and polling station assigned to the citizen, the school and his address appear on the screen. Changes of address and registration were included in the census until January 30. If the change occurred later, you will have to go to vote at that corresponding table for the place where you were registered before.
The voter can only vote at the table indicated by the census. It is probable that the polling station will be the same as in the previous elections, although there may also be changes if the municipalities change the spaces destined for this purpose. 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 9:00 a.m. and ends at 8:00 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 counting will begin and the results will be known gradually as the counts of the tables are finished and they are communicated.
