Overview
- Spain’s Central Electoral Board, which approved the change Thursday after a census office report, set the new cutoff at 2 p.m. Friday for requesting postal voting in Andalusia.
- Officials cited a period when the request link on Correos’s website was disabled, and the Andalusian Popular Party also flagged texts that wrongly told voters paperwork would be available until May 17.
- Voters can file requests at any post office during normal hours or online at correos.es, with Correos required to accept them through the new deadline.
- The board ordered Correos to forward all applications from the extended window to the Electoral Census Office as quickly as possible and to give the extension maximum public visibility.
- The resolution was sent to Andalusia’s electoral board, provincial and zone boards, party representatives, and the regional department, and voters who were delayed by the glitch now gain a short window to complete the process before mailing their ballots at a post office with ID.
