A draw that affects all citizens

The draw for jury candidates is a periodic procedure through which citizens who may be called to be part of jury courts during the 2027-2028 biennium are chosen by chance. The process potentially affects all citizens of the province of Soria who appear in the electoral census and meet the legal requirements to serve as a juror.

The selection is carried out randomly among the persons registered in the census, such that any citizen of the province may be designated. Those selected may be subsequently summoned to integrate a jury court in the proceedings held at the Provincial Court of Soria.

Requirements and obligations of the candidates

To be designated as a juror, it is necessary to meet the requirements established in current regulations, which include:

• Being a Spanish citizen and of legal age.
• Being in full exercise of political rights.
• Not being subject to the causes of incapacity, incompatibility, or prohibition provided for in Organic Law 5/1995.

Performing the function of a juror is a mandatory civic duty, unless one of the legally provided causes for excuse occurs. Selected candidates will be officially notified and must appear when required.

Where and when the event takes place

The draw will take place in a public act, with the following characteristics:

• Date: September 18, 2026.
• Time: 10:00.
• Location: Courtroom of the Provincial Court of Soria, Aguirre 3-5 street.

The call is communicated for the general knowledge of the citizenry, as required by the Jury Court regulations, thus guaranteeing the transparency and publicity of the selection procedure.
