How to vote
Voters, explains the Interior Ministry, must go to vote in possession of a valid identity document and electoral card. In case of loss or running out of space for stamping on the card, it can also be requested on voting days at the electoral office of the municipality where you are registered on the electoral lists.
As regards the European elections, it is possible to vote for only one list, and separate voting is not permitted. The voter can draw a mark on the symbol of the chosen list, even without indicating candidates. The names of any candidates chosen must be indicated on the lines printed to the right of the symbol, writing the surname or the name and surname in case of homonymy. You can express from one to three preferences. In the case of two or three preferences, they must refer to candidates of different genders, otherwise the second or second and third preferences will be cancelled. Candidates must belong to the voted list.
The lists of candidates presented for each constituency and the symbols of the parties, movements or organized political groups can be consulted online, as can the mock-ups of the electoral cards, of a different color for each of the 5 electoral constituencies into which the national territory is divided.
