The Supreme Court provisionally suspends voting rights for those who have acquired Spanish nationality through the grandchildren law, except in cases of documented exile.
The Supreme Court has made registration in the CERA conditional on consulates accrediting the status of being descendants of exiles.
Spain's Supreme Court has ruled to suspend voting rights for people already registered in the Electoral Census of Resident Absentees (CERA) who obtained Spanish nationality through the so-called "law of grandchildren", unless they can prove that their relatives suffered exile. The court's decision affects future electoral processes and was made after requests from Vox and Iustitia Europa.
The suspension does not apply to those who have not yet been registered in the CERA or to those whose relatives suffered exile due to political, ideological, or other reasons. The court has ordered the Central Electoral Board (JEC) to verify the circumstances of those registered in the CERA.
