Spain Publishes Guide for November 29 General Election: 38.7 Million Eligible Voters, Campaign Runs November 13 to 27
Spain's Ministry of the Interior published a basic guide on November 6, 2026, for the general election on November 29, when Spaniards will elect the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. A total of 38,728,356 people are eligible to vote, of whom 35,958,711 live in Spain and 2,769,645 live abroad.
The election was called after an extraordinary Council of Ministers on October 5, 2026, dissolved the Cortes Generales and set the vote for Sunday, November 29; the royal decree was published in the Official State Gazette on October 6 and took effect that day. The electoral roll for this election closed on August 1, 2026.
Under the official timetable, the campaign lasts 15 days, from midnight on November 13 to midnight on November 27, with November 28 as a day of reflection. The newly elected chambers will hold their constitutive sessions on December 23 at 10 a.m. Spaniards living abroad may vote in person at centres set up in their country of residence or return their ballot by post by November 24.
