The INE detects census incidents in three local entities of León

The Provincial Delegation of the Electoral Census Office in León has made public the list of local entities in the province with incidents in the Electoral Census ahead of the General Court elections on November 29, 2026. The announcement, with reference BOP-LE-2026-193040, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of León number 193, corresponding to Friday, October 9, 2026. The list affects Cimanes de la Vega, Luyego, and the minor local entity of La Majúa, belonging to the municipality of San Emiliano.

The publication is carried out in compliance with the second point of Instruction 1/2011, of March 24, of the Central Electoral Board, regarding administrative claims relating to modifications in the Electoral Census that may be made by candidacy representatives during the electoral period. The list refers to the situation of the province as of October 6, 2026, and responds to the communication to the Central Electoral Board provided for in article 30.c) of Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, of the General Electoral Regime.

The document appears electronically signed by the provincial delegate of the Electoral Census Office, José Ignacio Alonso Cimadevilla, in León, on October 7, 2026, and is framed within the State Administration, under the announcements of the National Statistics Institute.

The identified entities and the reason for the incident

The list identifies three local entities in the province of León and assigns to each the scenario that motivates its inclusion:

• Cimanes de la Vega (León): cause 1.
• Luyego (León): cause 2.
• La Majúa, minor local entity of San Emiliano (León): cause 1.

The announcement itself details the meaning of each code:

• Cause 1: having received a response from the City Council to the requests of the Electoral Census Office regarding significant increases in the number of residents that were not justified.
• Cause 2: not having received a response from the City Council to the requests of the Electoral Census Office within the established deadlines.

Claims from candidacies

The announcement reminds that the form for the challenge of the Electoral Census of a constituency by candidacy representatives is available on the website of the National Statistics Institute (www.ine.es). Specifically, it can be located in the General Court Elections of November 29, 2026 section under Electoral Census and in the Electoral Census Procedures of the electronic office.

The Electoral Census Office thus keeps open the channel provided for by electoral regulations so that the organizations running in the elections can question the population data that serve as the basis for the preparation of the voter lists.

What this means for residents

The three entities appear on the list due to discrepancies or a lack of response in the review of their resident figures, a procedure that conditions registration in the Electoral Census and, consequently, the exercise of the right to vote on November 29. The publication in the official bulletin publicizes the list and establishes the framework for administrative claims by candidacies during the electoral period.

The dissemination of this list allows parties and residents of Cimanes de la Vega, Luyego, and La Majúa to learn in advance about doubts regarding their census data and to react before the electoral date of November 29, 2026.
