Citizens of Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, New Zealand, Bolivia, Cape Verde, Korea, Iceland and Trinidad and Tobago will be able to vote in the municipal elections of 2019, fruit of the agreement of reciprocity of vote in local elections that Spain maintains with these countries.

The Electoral Census Office has begun to send a letter to residents in Spain of these countries to inform them of the registration period in the electoral census that is between December 1 and January 15.

To exercise their right to vote in municipal elections they must be of legal age and comply with the established conditions.

These conditions, with the exception of Norway, are to be in possession of the residence permit in Spain and to have resided legally and uninterruptedly for at least the five years prior to their application for registration in the electoral census.

It must also be registered in the municipal register of your habitual residence, where you can exercise the right to vote.

In the specific case of Norway, you must have resided in Spain, legally and uninterruptedly, for more than three years.

To facilitate this process, the Electoral Census Office (OCE) will send by post a communication to 280,316 residents in Spain nationals of these 12 countries to request their registration in the electoral census.

Of the total number of communications, 262,480 correspond to foreigners who meet all the conditions of the agreement and who will receive a password so that they can register in the electoral census online.

The remaining 17,836 foreigners must register in the electoral census by postal mail, providing a valid document that justifies the authorization of residence in Spain or a residence certificate issued by the General Commissariat of Foreigners and Borders, which can be obtained in any police dependency.

Likewise, the registration in the electoral census may also be done by going to the town councils where they are registered in the aforementioned period.
