Girona draws the jury candidates for the 2027-2028 biennium

The Electoral Census Office, through its Provincial Delegation of Girona, has announced the holding of the draw for jury candidates for the 2027-2028 period. The event will take place at 10:00 a.m. on September 17, 2026, in the multipurpose room of the Presidency of the Provincial Court of Girona, located on the 5th floor of the Palace of Justice (plaça Josep Ma Lidón Corbí, 1, Girona). The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona number 172, dated September 7, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_172_7706.

Legal basis of the draw

The call is based on the regulations governing the institution of the jury in the Spanish State. Specifically, it refers to article 13.2 of Organic Law 5/1995, of May 22, of the Jury Court, and article 1.2 of Royal Decree 1398/1995, of August 4, which regulates the draw for the formation of the lists of jury candidates.

This periodic procedure is used to randomly select the people who may be called to be part of the jury courts during the following biennium. The draw is conducted using the electoral census lists and affects the citizens of the Girona constituency.

Who organizes it and how it is developed

The event is organized by the Provincial Delegation of the Electoral Census Office of Girona, which depends on the National Statistics Institute (INE). The document was electronically signed on August 27, 2026, by Carlos Mitjavila Garcés, provincial delegate of the Electoral Census Office.

Interested parties may contact the office, located at carrer Cap de Creus, 4, Girona (postal code 17005), or contact them by email at dpoce.girona@ine.es. The information is also available on the INE website (www.ine.es).

What it implies to be a jury candidate

Being selected as a jury candidate does not automatically mean being part of a court; rather, the person becomes part of a list from which members may be drawn for specific cases. Among the characteristics of the procedure, it should be noted:

• The draw is for the formation of the lists of jury candidates for the 2027-2028 period.
• The event is public and is communicated for the general knowledge of the citizenry.
• The selection is carried out randomly from the electoral census.
• The people called may be required to integrate jury courts in judicial proceedings.

Relevance for the citizenry

This announcement has a direct impact on a portion of the citizens of the Girona district, as the draw determines who may be called to serve as a juror during the 2027-2028 biennium. Participation in a jury court is a civic duty regulated by law, and publication in the official bulletin guarantees transparency and general knowledge of the procedure, so that any affected person can be informed in advance.
