UPDATE: CHECKING YOU ARE ON THE ELECTORAL ROLL AND POSTAL VOTING FOR THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS 28/05/23



As you may well know, the Spanish local and regional elections will be held on Sunday, 28th of May 2023. 

As UK citizens covered by the EU Withdrawal Agreement, we can vote in the municipal elections (not regionals). However, in order to exercise this right we must have registered ourselves on the electoral roll between 1 December and 15 January (see previous posts below).

If you did register to vote within that period, you can consult the following website:

If you are on the electoral roll but will be away from your place of residence on 28 May, you can apply for a postal vote before 18 May.
