A reminder there are less than two weeks left to ensure you have a voice in the next municipal elections by registering at the Town Hall.
As long as you have lived in Spain and been on the Padron for more than 2 years you are eligible to vote for the people who will form the next council and control the budgets for the next 4 years!
It is the only election you are entitled to vote in in Spain but they are the most important. For the past 16 years I have been honoured to serve on the council and to help ensure that the wishes of the expat community are considered. We have been fortunate in that all of those councils sought to please and consider the non Spanish residents and to help them in their life’s in Spain.
The candidates for election have not yet been revealed but when they are you will have chances to examine their credentials and manifesto’s and vote for those you feel will best provide for all the citizens.
It is hugely important and I urge everyone who qualifies to call into the Town Hall with their passport and your NIE for identification, and register. If anyone has any problems just let me know but it should be a very simple process. Date for registration closes 15th January!!
Please let everyone you know understand the short time frame available to register.
