On Sunday, July 23, general elections will be held throughout Spain, which will determine the members of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. Citizens will be able to start voting from 9 in the morning, when 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 counting will begin.
To vote, voters must identify themselves through one of the following options: ID, 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 elections). 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 am 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 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. The votes will be counted for the composition of the Senate and Congress, whose members must elect the President of the Government.
