Málaga can now consult its polling stations and electoral venues for 2026

The National Statistics Institute (INE) has published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga the list of sections, polling stations, and electoral venues of the province for the 2026 General Elections. The announcement appears in section I of the gazette corresponding to October 12, 2026, under the official reference Edict 3886/2026. With this publication, voters in the province now have the official reference to determine in which section and at which polling station they are assigned to vote.

The announcement is inserted in the first section of the gazette, reserved for announcements from the General State Administration, and is headed by the National Statistics Institute, the state body responsible for official statistics and the formation of the electoral census. The territorial mention of the edict is Málaga, meaning its scope of application is the entire province.

What the edict contains

The announcement published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga organizes and makes public the three basic components of the electoral organization in the territory:

• The list of electoral sections of the province of Málaga.
• The list of polling stations.
• The list of electoral venues.

Therefore, it is the reference that associates each area of the province with its section, its polling station, and the venue where the voting is installed. The edict is uniquely identified by the number 3886/2026, which is the reference that citizens and administrations must cite when consulting or filing appeals regarding its content.

Who issues it and where it is published

The issuer of the announcement is the National Statistics Institute, acting through section I of the provincial gazette. The publication occurs in the issue of the Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga dated October 12, 2026, within the section dedicated to announcements from the General State Administration.

• Issuing body: National Statistics Institute.
• Gazette: Official Gazette of the Province of Málaga.
• Publication date: October 12, 2026.
• Section: I (General State Administration).
• Official reference: Edict 3886/2026.
• Territorial scope: province of Málaga.

How to consult it

The announcement appears in the summary of the October 12, 2026 issue, where the issuing body, the territorial scope, and the edict reference are detailed. The full text is published in the official edition of the provincial gazette, which is the means through which the content of the edict is publicized and made effective.

The announcement query allows each voter to locate their section and polling station within the published list, as well as identify the assigned polling place. As this is an official publication, the content of Edict 3886/2026 constitutes the reference against which doubts regarding the location of polling stations in the province are resolved.

Why it matters

The publication of this list is the step that translates electoral organization into useful information for the voter: without it, voters in the province would not have a single, official list of sections, polling stations, and locations for the 2026 General Elections. The edict affects the entire census of the province of Málaga, as each voter is assigned to a specific section and polling station among those listed.
