The Provincial Electoral Board of A Coruña and the seven zone electoral boards of the province have been constituted with members of judicial origin for the general elections on November 29. This is stated in the certifications published by the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña in issue number 196, dated October 14, 2026, within the Electoral Administration section, with the official reference 2026/6599 for the provincial body.

The legal framework and the call

The constitutions take place in application of article 14 of the Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime (LOREG), which establishes the composition of these bodies with members of judicial origin.

The acts of constitution were held mostly on October 9, 2026, according to the certifications signed by the secretaries of each body, and the election day is set for November 29, 2026.

The constitution of these bodies formally opens the electoral calendar in the province and marks the starting point for the deadlines affecting parties, candidates, and voters. From now on, the boards assume the management of candidacies, claims, and appeals, as well as the supervision of the campaign and the voting day; therefore, any incident related to 11-29 must be addressed to these judicial bodies.
