Applicants have until 25 November 2026 to drop off the envelope containing their vote, during usual post office opening hours.
In any case:
- You must complete the required data.
- Sign your request electronically.
- Download the request at the end.
The Electoral Census Office must approve the request, so that it can send the documentation for voting to the address you have indicated in your request.
For the upcoming elections, the Electoral Census Office asks that the vote be dropped off by the voter themselves, in person. In the event of not being able to do this themselves, voters may authorise someone else to do it on their behalf. This representative must show the corresponding authorisation, a photocopy of the official ID document of the voter and their own official ID document. To make this process easier, Correos has made a template authorisation document available to all voters. Download it here.
