Manzanilla annuls the competitive examination rules for two Local Police positions

The Manzanilla City Council has annulled and voided the approval of the rules to fill two Local Police Officer positions through open competitive examination, as stated in a resolution published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huelva number 166, dated August 28, 2026. The decision invalidates the rules that had been published in BOP number 163/2026.

The annulment necessitates restarting the selection process for the provision of the two officer positions, which therefore remain without an active call for applications until the Huelva-based council approves new rules.

A process that restarts

The municipal resolution of Manzanilla directly affects the public employment call for the selection of two Local Police officers, a process that had opened with the publication of the rules in BOP number 163/2026. With the annulment, applicants who had begun their participation must wait for a new call.

The announcement is part of the Local Administration block of the provincial gazette, alongside other personnel selection actions from municipalities in the province of Huelva.

Other calls in the province

The same issue of the gazette includes other selection processes in the province, including:

• Aroche City Council: approval of the final list of admitted and excluded candidates for the selection of two Administrative Assistant positions and one Intermediate Management Technician position.
• El Campillo City Council: approval of the provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates for the selection of one Local Police position.
• Zalamea la Real City Council: approval of the modification of the Public Employment Offer for the 2026 fiscal year.

Relevance for applicants

The annulment of the rules represents a setback for those who had prepared for the competitive examination for the two Local Police officer positions in Manzanilla, who must now stay alert for the publication of a new call in the official gazette. The decision, adopted by the council, reinforces the need to follow official processing to learn the new deadlines and requirements of the selection process.
