Salobral opens the application period to choose a candidate for titular justice of the peace

The Salobral City Council has opened the application period for residents to submit their candidacy for the position of titular justice of the peace of the municipality. The call is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ávila No. 184, dated September 23, 2026, under reference 1869/26. The City Council Plenary will be the body that proposes the name to the Governing Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Castilla y León, headquartered in Burgos.

The announcement is issued to comply with the provisions of Articles 101 and 102 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary, as well as Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation 3/1995, of June 7, on Justices of the Peace. This regulation establishes the procedure by which city councils propose candidates to fill justice of the peace positions in municipalities.

The edict is dated in Salobral on September 16, 2026, and is signed by the Mayor-President, Antonio de Llano Sánchez. The text specifies that the proposal shall fall upon a resident of the municipality itself, who would hold the position of TITULAR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE of the same.

Fifteen-business-day period and submission methods

Interested parties must submit their application in writing within fifteen business days, counting from the day following the publication of the edict. Submission can be made at the Registry of the Salobral City Council or through the municipal electronic office, https://salobral.sedelectronica.es.

The announcement will also be published on the City Council’s electronic office, so that the call is accessible electronically in addition to the provincial gazette.

Documentation that must accompany the application

• Photocopy of the ID (DNI).
• Certificate of census registration (empadronamiento).
• Declaration of not being subject to causes of incapacity or incompatibility for the position.
• Criminal record certificate.
• Supplementary declaration of civic conduct.

The application must be accompanied by all the documentation listed in the edict. The City Council will inform applicants of the requirements and the causes of incapacity and incompatibility for exercising the office.

Processing before the High Court of Justice

Once the deadline has closed, the City Council Plenary will submit the appointment proposal of the candidate to the Governing Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Castilla y León, headquartered in Burgos. The edict recalls that the procedure complies with Articles 101 and 102 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary and Regulation 3/1995, of June 7, on Justices of the Peace.

The call for applications directly affects the residents of Salobral, as the justice of the peace is the primary judicial figure in municipalities that do not have a court of first instance. The selection of the candidate to be proposed to the High Court of Justice of Castilla y León thus has a direct impact on the daily life of the municipality.
