If you
are registered to vote in Spain you can use your vote on May 26 in Calasparra.
If you have not received your voting papers don´t worry, just take your
passport and green NIE card to your local polling station and you will be able
to vote.
If you don´t know which is your polling station ask at the Town Hall.
The news from the British Consulate in Spain on the EU elections in the UK is
that the UK Government wants to ratify the Withdrawal Agreement on the UK´s
departure from the EU in the next few weeks. If that happens before 23 May,
there will be no European Parliament elections in the UK, UK nationals won’t be
able to vote in EP elections, and the UK will leave the EU on 1 June.
However, there is a possibility that the UK will participate in the EP
elections.
If you are a UK national living in Spain you can choose to vote
in your home country (ie the UK) or in your country of residence (ie Spain). If
you have spent less than 15 years out of the UK, you can vote for UK candidates
as long as you register before 7 May.
If you are already registered to vote in Spain (the deadline was 30 January
2019), you can vote here for the Spanish candidates in the EU elections, as
well as the municipal and regional elections.
But you cannot vote in both countries.
