The Seville Electoral Board constitutes the electoral radio and television commission

The Provincial Electoral Board of Seville has constituted the Radio and Television Commission for the General Elections of Nov 29, according to the announcement of November 5, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Regional Government of Andalusia (BOJA) number 218, of November 11, 2026, with text number 14759. The agreement places the province of Seville with its media control body activated just over three weeks before the election day, set for Sunday, November 29.

The announcement is inserted in section 5.2, “Other official announcements,” under the heading Electoral Board of Andalusia, and occupies a single page of the gazette. With this constitution, the Provincial Board of Seville provides its own structure to the field of radio and television within the provincial electoral framework.

A body to organize electoral spaces in the media

The Radio and Television Commission is the piece of the electoral administration that channels the relationship between the candidacies and the audiovisual media during the electoral process, within the framework of Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime, a regulation expressly invoked by the Electoral Board of Andalusia in its own constitution. Its creation in the province of Seville responds to the deployment calendar of the electoral boards, which must be operational before the campaign begins.

The published announcement does not detail the composition of the body nor the calendar of appearances or the allocation of spaces; it limits itself to declaring its constitution for the Nov 29 process.

A chain of agreements starting in October

The constitution of the Sevillian commission is the provincial link in an administrative sequence that the BOJA has been publishing in recent weeks:

• Decree 525/2026, of October 21, providing for the appointment of the members of the Electoral Board of Andalusia (BOJA no. 207, of October 26, 2026, text no. 14027).
• Agreement of November 3, 2026, on the constitution of the Electoral Board of Andalusia, adopted in a session held at the headquarters of the Parliament of Andalusia and published in BOJA no. 217, of November 10, 2026 (text no. 14672).
• Announcement of November 5, 2026, from the Provincial Electoral Board of Seville, on the constitution of the Radio and Television Commission for the General Elections of Nov 29 (BOJA no. 218, of November 11, 2026, text no. 14759).

The composition of the Electoral Board of Andalusia, published one day prior, was established as follows:

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

The regional agreement is based on article 8.4 of the Law 1/1986, of January 2, Electoral Law of Andalusia, and article 18.6 of the LOREG, and establishes the seat of the constituent session in the regional Chamber.

Three weeks until the polls

With the commission now constituted, the province of Seville enters the phase in which candidacies must channel any controversy regarding broadcasting times, news coverage, and propaganda spaces on radio and television through the electoral administration. Furthermore, the constitution takes place before the BOJA has yet published the details of the time allocation among the parties running in the Seville constituency.

The announcement of November 5 confirms that the provincial electoral apparatus is deployed and that the Provincial Electoral Board of Seville formally assumes control of the audiovisual scope of the 29N campaign, a competence that directly affects the television stations and radio broadcasters operating in the province and the candidacies aspiring to deliver their message to the Seville voters.
