The Electoral Board of Andalusia has been constituted with Juan María Jiménez as president

The Andalusian Electoral Board was constituted on November 3, 2026, at the headquarters of the Parliament of Andalusia, with Juan María Jiménez Jiménez as president and Marta Rosa López Velasco as vice president. The constitution agreement, signed by the president himself in Seville on November 3, is published in the Official Gazette of the Government of Andalusia (BOJA) no. 217, of November 10, 2026, in the general provisions section (text no. 14672, page 14672). With this formal step, the composition of the body that arbitrates the electoral processes in the community is declared and published “for general knowledge.”

The agreement and its legal basis

The published text recalls that the Governing Council of the Government of Andalusia proceeded with the appointment of the members of the Andalusian Electoral Board through Decree 525/2026, of October 21, published in BOJA no. 207, of October 26, 2026.

Following that appointment, and “pursuant to the provisions of article 8.4 of the Electoral Law of Andalusia 1/1986, of January 2,” the body was effectively constituted. The agreement is further supported by article 18.6 of the Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime, which requires the constitution of electoral boards to be declared and published for general knowledge.

The constitutive session was held at the headquarters of the Parliament of Andalusia on November 3, 2026, and the agreement appears signed by the president of the body, Juan María Jiménez Jiménez.

The composition of the body

The agreement details the full composition of the Andalusian Electoral Board:

• Presidency: Mr. Juan María Jiménez Jiménez.
• Vice Presidency: Ms. Marta Rosa López Velasco.
• Members: Mr. Carlos García de la Rosa, Ms. Alicia Díaz-Santos Salcedo, Mr. Mariano López Benítez, Ms. María del Carmen Núñez Lozano, and Mr. Ángel Gallego Morales.
• Secretariat: Mr. Manuel Carrasco Durán, Chief Legal Counsel of the Parliament of Andalusia.

This is a collegiate body consisting of seven members between the presidency, vice presidency, and memberships, plus the secretariat, which is held by the chief legal counsel of the Andalusian Chamber.

Publication and scope of the agreement

The agreement is included in section 1 of the general provisions of BOJA no. 217 and occupies a single page, with its own entry in the bulletin’s summary. The publication closes the administrative sequence opened by Decree 525/2026: first the appointment by the Governing Council, then the formal constitution of the body, and finally its official dissemination.

The constitution also takes place within a context of administrative activity in the BOJA of the same day, in which the Order of November 5, 2026, from the Ministry of Social Services, Families and Equality, is also published, applying urgent processing to the grant procedure funded by 0.7% of Personal Income Tax (IRPF) and Corporate Tax (text no. 14719).

The constitution of the Andalusian Electoral Board is the step that enables the body to exercise its functions of supervision and control of the electoral process within the regional scope. It directly affects parties, candidacies, and voters, who from now on have a constituted arbitral body with an officially published composition, which guarantees legal certainty regarding who resolves queries, appeals, and claims on electoral matters in Andalusia. The agreement recalls that the constitution is declared and published precisely for general knowledge, so that any interested party can verify the identity and position of each of the members.
