An agreement was signed last week between the Spanish Government and the UK which will continue to allow British people, who are on the electoral roll in Spain to continue to be able to vote in the Ayuntamiento elections and the European elections as they have in the past.

It also confirms that they can also stand as candidates, and existing councillors will be able to keep their seats.

Anyone who wants to vote in the elections coming up in May 2019 needs to have registered by January 30th

Voting is now open for the theme of the La Olva(Corralejo) Carnival 2022 using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQ...Q/viewform

I understand that another affect of Brexit is that we Brits now have to re-register to vote in the local elections. When we were EU citizens, registration on the Empadron automatically got you on the Electoral register, but sadly, no longer. Its a separate registration system for us non-EU folk!

There are some additional qualifications, 3 years on the Empadron, for example and I'm led to believe that there is quite a short set time period to visit the Town Halls to do the registration.
