What is the electoral roll?

The electoral census is the way to find out who meets the requirements to be a voter and is not in right to vote.

It is made up of “The electoral census of Spaniards residing in Spain (CER) and The electoral census of absent-resident Spaniards living abroad (CERA)”.

The current electoral census is closed from the first day of the second month prior to the date of the electionswith the registrations of those who are of legal age on the exact day of the vote.

If you are not in the census in the place where you live, either because you did not notify a change of address at the time or because of some error, you will not be able to vote or you will have to do it in the previous place where you lived.
