Provisional list of jury candidates 2027-2028 published in Ourense

The General Common Service of the Judicial Office of Ourense has publicized the provisional list of jury candidates for the 2027-2028 biennium, resulting from the draw held last September. The announcement, signed by the service director, José Lloves Forneiro, dated September 30, 2026, appears in section V, Courts and Tribunals, of the Official Gazette of the Province of Ourense on October 22, 2026 (official reference 352869). Any person included in the list may be called to be part of a jury tribunal during the next two years.

The publication responds to the mandate of paragraph 4 of article 13 of Organic Law 5/1995, of May 22, regarding the jury tribunal, which sets the deadline for publicizing the provisional list of candidates within the last fifteen days of October. The text of the announcement itself explains that the list is the result of the draw held in September and is disseminated precisely within that legal window, so that the census of potential jurors is configured before the start of the biennium.

The September 18 draw at the Pazo de Xustiza

The act from which this list originates took place at 09:30 hours on September 18, 2026, in the Courtroom of the Provincial Court of Ourense, on the second floor of the Pazo de Xustiza at Praza Concepción Arenal. The call had been made by the Electoral Census Office of the Provincial Delegation of Ourense through an announcement dated August 31, 2026, signed by the deputy provincial delegate, José Manuel Gerpe Vispo.

That announcement invoked article 13.2 of Organic Law 5/1995 and Royal Decree 1271/2012, of August 31, which modifies Royal Decree 1398/1995, of August 4, as the regulatory basis for the draw. The administrative chain now closes with the publication of the provisional result in the provincial gazette, under registration number R. 2.419.

Nearly 1,500 people from across the province

The list occupies practically the entirety of the announcement and is ordered by municipality, with a four-digit provincial code and a correlative order number for each person. The listing begins in Allariz (code 32001) and ends in Vilariño de Conso (code 32092), thus traversing the municipalities of the province from west to east.

• Allariz: 32 registered people, the most numerous block among the small municipalities.
• Viana do Bolo: 9 people; Vilamarín: 10; Vilamartín de Valdeorras: 9.
• Vilardevós: 9 people; Vilar de Barrio: 6; Vilar de Santos: 4.
• San Amaro: 6 people; Rubiá: 4; Petín: 3; Vilariño de Conso: 1.
• The municipality of Ourense concentrates the largest volume of registrations in the entire list.

In total, the announcement comprises around 1,500 entries, which indicates the size of the candidate census that the province provides to the jury tribunal for the next biennium.

Protected personal data and provisional nature

Each line of the list identifies the person by the council code, the name of the municipality, an order number, the surnames and name in uppercase and, at the end, the national identity document partially hidden with asterisks. The hiding of the DNI digits allows for the verification of the identity of those affected without exposing their full data in a general access publication.

The announcement expressly qualifies the list as provisional, in line with the processing that Organic Law 5/1995 establishes for the formation of jury lists. From this publication, the included persons will form the census from which the tribunals that will judge the cases reaching the Provincial Court of Ourense in the years 2027 and 2028 will be drawn.

The relevance of the news is direct for thousands of families in the province: appearing on this list implies being available for a judicial summons in the next two years, with a civic duty that can only be excused in legally provided cases. Furthermore, the list provides transparency to the selection process and allows any person to check if they were included in the draw.
