Pontevedra completes the Electoral Board for the general elections on November 29

The Provincial Electoral Board of Pontevedra has been officially constituted for the general elections of November 29, with magistrate María Nélida Cid Guede as president and two non-judicial members appointed by the Central Electoral Board. The Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) published the edict in issue number 219, Thursday, November 12, 2026, in the Electoral Administration section, with official reference 2026078400. The signature belongs to the secretary of the body, Marina Polo Renú, and the document is dated in Pontevedra on November 9, 2026.

The framework for the appointment is Royal Decree 806/2026, of October 5, published in the Official State Gazette number 248, of October 6, 2026, which called for the general elections for November 29. The appointment of the two non-judicial members took place during the session of the Central Electoral Board on November 5, 2026, in application of article 10.1.b) of the Organic Law 5/1985, of June 19, on the General Electoral Regime (LOREG), once the candidacies were proclaimed.

The composition of the provincial body

The edict details the complete integration of the board, which was provisionally constituted on October 9 and is now finalized with the incorporation of the non-judicial members:

• President: María Nélida Cid Guede, president of the Fifth Section of the Provincial Court of Pontevedra.
• Judicial members: Flora Lomo del Olmo, magistrate of the Sixth Section of the Provincial Court of Pontevedra, and José Ramón Sánchez Herrero, magistrate of the Fifth Section of the same court.
• Non-judicial members: Juan Carlos Abeigón Vidal and Arturo Conde Pereiro, jurists of recognized prestige.
• Secretary: Marina Polo Renú, director of the Common Processing Service of the Provincial Court of Pontevedra.

The text reminds that the incorporation of these last two members is precisely what remains pending until the proclamation of candidacies, in accordance with the LOREG, and that their appointment corresponds to the Central Electoral Board and not to the provincial body.

Seven zone boards with appointed members

The same issue of the gazette includes a second edict from the Provincial Electoral Board of Pontevedra, referenced as 2026078462 and dated November 10, certifying the agreement adopted in the session of November 6, 2026 (minutes AC-11) by which the non-judicial members of the zone electoral boards of the constituency are appointed, pursuant to article 11.1.b) of the LOREG. The distribution is as follows:
