The election day has started normally this Sunday, May 28. At 9 in the morning the polling stations opened and 100 percent of the 179 polling stations between Lanzarote and La Graciosa have been set up.
The earliest risers were already queuing from 9 in the morning to exercise their right to vote.
In total more than 100,000 people can vote on this day to decide who will be their representatives in the seven town councils of the island, the Cabildo and the Parliament of the Canary Islands.
In each polling station there are four ballot boxes, one for the town council, in which the envelope and the white ballot paper are deposited, another for the council (green envelope and ballot paper), another for the island constituency of the Parliament (sepia envelope and ballot paper) and another for the autonomous constituency of the Parliament (yellow envelope and ballot paper).
Electors can consult, without the need for Cl@ve access, the data of the polling station and electoral premises in which they are to vote, through the address sede.ine.gob.es/cemesas/?lang=es_Es, providing as mandatory data the province, the municipality and the initial of the first surname.
The postal vote validated for these elections amounts to 56,971, corresponding to 31,759 in the province of Las Palmas and 25,212 in that of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
