The letter contains detailed information about the position you must hold (or if you are a substitute) at the polling station and instructions on how to know what to do.

Claim period

The law provides the ability to bring impediments to the Zone Electoral Board. The voters have a time limit for this seven days after notification.

Many people will go through the calendar until the first half of July, either to claim or discover the resolution that will be published five days after the accusation is filed.

Those who are in a polling station they charge at least 70 euros, the amount paid in the last municipal and regional elections. 5 euros more than in the 2019 generals.

He punishment for not coming or leave the board without lawful or just cause, may be punished with imprisonment from three months to one year or a fine from six to twenty-four months.

Requirements to participate in the lottery

All people older than 18 years, younger than 70 years and who can read and write participate in this lottery. They can also submit their resignation within seven days from the age of 65.

In addition, those who reach the age of majority in the period between the drawing up of the electoral rolls and the vote are excluded.

On the other hand, regulated training counts. The president or president must have a bachelor’s degree, a second-degree vocational diploma, or a school diploma or equivalent.

Causes that justify not going to the polling station

The law contains a series of justifiable reasons why a citizen may not appear as chairman or member of a polling station despite a convocation.

These reasons for not going to a polling place must be justified in advance to the Zone Electoral Board. It is therefore not worth not showing up that day without prior permission from the area board.

Similarly, voting by mail does not exempt citizens from being called upon to be part of a polling station, despite widespread belief that it does.

The causes that are regulated are:

personal causes. Among these: being over the age of 65, having a disability, being sick or on leave from work, being pregnant for more than six months or having a high-risk pregnancy or having surgery on the days before the vote.

family causes. Among them: being a mother to a baby under 9 months old, having a child under 14 years old when the other parent is unable to care for them, planning a family event of special importance that cannot be postponed, or direct and ongoing care for minors 8 years old , people with disabilities or elderly and/or sick relatives.

professional causes. Among them: the workers who provide their services to the polling stations, the courts, health personnel, firefighters or the directors and heads of information services who have to cover the day.
