Voters residing in Spain who will be temporarily abroad at the time of the call and absent until May 26, 2019, the day of the election, can vote from abroad provided they follow a specific procedure.
Registration with the Consular Register
They must:
- Be registered as non-residents in the Spanish consular register in the city where they are located.
- Request in person the documentation to exercise their right to vote from the provincial delegation of the Electoral Census Office in Tarragona, via the nearest Spanish consulate to their residence abroad.
- This procedure must be completed before April 27, 2019.
Receiving the Voting Material
The Tarragona provincial delegation will send, between April 30 and May 6 (or until May 14 in case of challenges), the necessary documentation by certified mail to the address indicated abroad.
Sending the Vote
Once the documents are received, voters must send their vote by certified mail, no later than May 22, to the following address:
Sala d’actes de l’Ajuntament de Pratdip
Avda de Catalunya 7
43320 Pratdip
Recommendation
However, it is preferable to vote in person in Pratdip on election day, May 26, 2019, to ensure your vote is properly counted.
