Britons living in Spain must re-register to participate in the local elections taking place on May 23, 2027. Applications for the 2027 voter registration opened on December 1, 2026 and will close on January 15, 2027. To be eligible, British nationals must be at least 18 years old on election day, have resided in Spain legally and continuously for at least three years prior to applying, and be registered on the Padrón in their municipality of residence.
A residence card or Padrón entry alone is not sufficient to register. The Electoral Census Office will send letters to eligible residents from countries with reciprocal voting agreements, including the UK, beginning in late November. Applicants can complete the registration online through Spain’s National Statistics Institute or at their local town hall within the registration window.
