Electoral Register


The lists of voters is the electoral document where the opening of the polls, incidents and the closing of polls must be recorded and it must contain, at a minimum, the list of voters, their photographs and the numbers of the polling stations to which they are assigned.


The Civil Registry shall be responsible for printing this register with the specific characteristics stipulated by law and must guarantee that it is fully and appropriately prepared for distribution to each polling station.


The lists of voters shall be the full proof of the result of an election, as long as it does not appear to be contradicted by another document of equivalent value or is not proven to be false. In the event of loss or inconsistency, the Tribunal shall use the corresponding election documentation for each election as a guide.
