When do they notify you if you are a polling station in the elections? Draw dates for the generals

After the early call for general elections by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, we are approaching the date of July 23, which on this occasion will take place in the middle of summer. Not only will we have the opportunity to exercise our right to vote, but also some citizens will have to be part of the polling stations, either as president or as a member.

Taking into account that it is a very sensitive date, the Central Electoral Board offers some flexibility, and allows those who have already partially or totally paid for a vacation accommodation or transport ticket that coincides with the elections to get rid of the polling station. In any case, citizens will have seven days to present allegations after receiving the corresponding notification.. Of course, in the event that we are not exempted from this responsibility and we do not appear at the table on 23-J, we would face a fine or even jail time.

For all these reasons, it is convenient to take into account when the draw is to assign the corresponding positions in the polling stations, and when the elected will receive the notification that notifies them of this..

When do they announce the polling stations?

This time, the draw to decide who makes up the polling stations will take place between June 24 and 28. The electoral law establishes that this draw must be carried out “between the twenty-fifth and twenty-ninth days after the call”, so these are the dates that have been set.. In addition, the law also indicates that “the designation as President and Vocal of the electoral tables must be notified to the interested parties within a period of three days”, so that the citizens elected for this task will be notified on July 1 at the latest. , probably before.

As we said before, those who are notified will have a period of seven days, once the notice is received, to present allegations indicating a justified cause that prevents them from accepting the position.. In turn, the Electoral Board will resolve the allegations presented within a period of five days.

The electoral law states that the lottery to elect the presidents and members of the polling stations includes “all the people included in the list of voters of the corresponding polling station, who can read and write and are under 70 years of age, although from the age of 65 may express their resignation within a period of seven days.
