Cádiz celebrates the draw of jury candidates on September 30

The Electoral Census Office of Cádiz has called for the public draw for the selection of jury candidates, which will be held at 10:00 AM on September 30, 2026, at the Administrative Office of the Provincial Court of Cádiz. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cádiz number 180, corresponding to September 17, 2026, under reference No. 286,864.

The call is issued in compliance with Article 13.2 of Organic Law 5/1995, of May 22, on the Jury Court, and Royal Decree 1398/1995, of August 4, 1995, regulations that govern the designation of citizens who may compose a jury. The body responsible for the call is the Electoral Census Office of Cádiz, which depends on the National Statistics Institute within the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise, acting through its Provincial Delegation.

The text is communicated “for general knowledge” and appears signed in Cádiz on September 17, 2026, by the Provincial Delegate of the Electoral Census Office, Antonio Martínez Serrano.

Date, time and place of the draw

The act will be held at the judicial headquarters of the capital of Cádiz, in the Administrative Office of the Provincial Court of Cádiz, and will be public. The essential details of the call are as follows:

• Date: September 30, 2026.
• Time: 10:00 AM.
• Place: Administrative Office of the Provincial Court of Cádiz.
• Publication: Official Gazette of the Province of Cádiz number 180, of September 17, 2026.
• Official reference of the announcement: No. 286,864.

Legal basis for the designation

The selection of jury candidates is based on Article 13.2 of Organic Law 5/1995, of May 22, on the Jury Court, which establishes the draw procedure based on the electoral census. The regulatory development corresponds to Royal Decree 1398/1995, of August 4, 1995, which specifies the method of performing the random selection and the subsequent communications to the designated citizens.

Both regulations determine that the draw is carried out from the list of electors of the province, such that the status of candidate derives directly from registration in the current electoral census.

Who it affects

The call affects citizens included in the electoral census of the province of Cádiz, which serves as the basis for the random selection. The announcement is disseminated through the provincial gazette so that any interested person may be aware of the act and its circumstances.

• Territorial scope: province of Cádiz.
• Reference population: electors registered in the provincial electoral census.
• Calling body: Electoral Census Office of Cádiz.
• Body before which it is held: Provincial Court of Cádiz.

Publication in the official bulletin guarantees the publicity and transparency of the procedure, by allowing citizens to know in advance when and where the draw will be held. For residents of the province, the announcement is of direct interest: any of those registered in the census may be designated as a jury candidate, with the obligations that this entails under Organic Law 5/1995. The appointment on September 30 thus opens the selection process that will populate the jury lists of the province for upcoming judicial proceedings.
