INE: 38,728,356 Spaniards Can Vote on November 29, Including 1.6 Million First-Time Voters
Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE) published the electoral census figures for the November 29 general election on October 9. A total of 38,728,356 people can vote: 35,958,711 residents in Spain and 2,769,645 Spaniards living abroad. Among residents in Spain, 1,615,127 will be able to vote in a general election for the first time, having turned 18 since the previous Cortes election on July 23, 2023.
The census closed on August 1. Voters can check their registration and file claims from October 12 to 19: residents at town halls and provincial delegations of the Electoral Census Office, voters abroad at consular offices, and anyone through the INE's electronic office using the Cl@ve identification system. Census cards showing the polling station and voting location will be mailed from November 2.
Voters living abroad will receive the documentation needed to vote in two separate mailings and may also vote without prior request; ballot deposit at consular voting centres will run from November 21 to 26, ahead of polling day.
The figures shape the electoral map for a campaign in which opinion polls give the conservative Popular Party and Vox a combined majority, while the governing socialists argue that first-time and overseas voters will be decisive. (Source: National Statistics Institute (INE), Spain)
