Grade Electoral Board enables venues and panels for the electoral campaign

The Zonal Electoral Board of Grado has made public the venues and spaces reserved for the free holding of electoral campaign events and for the placement of propaganda in the councils of its jurisdiction. The list, signed in Grado on October 29, 2026, by the body’s secretary, Ana de la Peña Rodríguez, is published urgently in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias (BOPA) no. 214, of November 5, 2026, with the official reference 2026-09022.

The list is submitted in compliance with the request of the Provincial Electoral Board and for the purposes of Article 57.2 of the Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime (LOREG), which requires city councils to reserve official premises and public places for the free holding of campaign events, as well as sites for banners, posters, and placards. The certification is sent to the Provincial Electoral Board, the Government Delegation, and the official gazette for dissemination.

The framework is the electoral process for the General Courts called for November 29, for which the various zonal electoral boards of Asturias have been publishing their respective lists since mid-October. The Zonal Electoral Board of Grado was constituted on October 9, 2026, under the presidency of Nuria Ballvé Botas, according to the minutes published in BOPA no. 199, of October 14, 2026 (reference 2026-08361).

A distribution that organizes the electoral competition

The publication establishes the material rules of the campaign in western and central Asturias: the parties and candidacies competing in these six councils already know which facilities they can use free of charge and in which time slots, while residents have a public map of the supports where the propaganda will appear. The distribution also avoids conflicts between formations over the use of municipal spaces and specifies the obligations of the town councils regarding the assembly and maintenance of panels until election day.
