The question we should ask is: The amendment to the Electoral Act, has been a failure?? For if what is sought is to reduce the turnout of English citizens abroad, has been a success and if this was not searched, have shown tremendous inability to explain the rules and procedure for exercising the right to vote ... Let everyone draw their own conclusions. Here the note of foreign Spain.
To date 25 April 2011 a total of 29,063 English nationals living abroad have registered in the CERA requested documentation to vote in regional elections next May 22 . Although this figure represents only four percent of residents outside the voting, it is expected that figure to rise slightly but may not reach 8 percent.
The provincial offices of the Electoral Census Bureau received a total of 29,063 applications of documentation to vote on 22 May in the regional elections.
This figure, which has had access to foreign Spain, refers to the first count of the petitions was held on April 25, the deadline for submitting completed on Saturday 23 April, so there is still time for the number of applications increases.
Anyway, given the number of applications received is expected to total less than 8% of total enrolled in the CERA voting next May 22 who documentation requested to do so. the 29,063 applications account for 4 percent of the 705,097 census abroad.
be processed until the week before election day.
The deadline for receipt of applications corresponds to the last day of dispatch of documentation election next May 2. However, applications submitted on time they could get after that date will be processed until the end of the week before polling day, ie the week of 9 to 15 May.
The greatest number of requests for documentation have been received from France, with 9,497, followed by Argentina with 2,751, Germany with 2,379, and Switzerland, 2356.
also include some interesting data, such as that of the very low number of applications received from Venezuela, which as of April 25 28. You have to remember that Venezuela is home to more than 100,000 enrolled in the CERA of which most are canaries who can vote in the upcoming regional elections in the Islands.
This fact and the fact that the number of applications from European countries is well above applications American countries suggests that in the coming days could increase the total number of applications since it would be a delay due to the worst performance of the postal service, and the distance of the Latin American countries.
