already have less than two months Thus, on May 28, citizens elect their representatives in the parliament. 141 municipalities in the province of Alicante (542 in the Valencian Community, 8.131 in the whole of Spain) and Valencia Courtsas in most other autonomous communities. This week, perhaps this Monday, Generalitat President Ximo Puig is expected to sign the agreement. Decree on the dissolution of the Valencian Parliament and the holding of regional elections. announcement municipal election appointment Expected these days. From then on, the ballot box race really begins.
The moment is pointing one before and one aftersince the issuance of the decree calling for elections Institutional actions of a political nature can no longer be carried out. In this way, for example, It is not allowed to open jobs or announce the execution of projects.. it’s been like this from the start 2011When Article 50 of the General Election Regime Establishment Law (LOREG)), so to end until then it’s questionable app as usual: in the last days before the elections opening and opening avalanches in all their gloryand all kinds the most diverse and sometimes more smoky than certain future projects.
However, since this is no longer possible, picaresque goes to another date: the announcement of the call for elections. These days, there have been openings, start-ups, commemorations or job postings where the incumbent public administration has inflated its management in one way or another. Inside AlicanteFor example, In the last week of March, the almost complete pedestrianization of the Town Hall area, the rehabilitation of Casa de la Misericordia, and the reform and expansion of CEIP Florida were approved.. Another just-in-time performance l’Ordana car park in Sant Joan d’Alacant.
HE regional scope does not escape this momentum of the projects; The opening of Pinoso’s southwest roundabout on March 27 and Minister Rebeca Torró’s Reforms on the Elche-Santa Pola highway, the next day, are examples of this. As of this week, the infrastructures commissioned will do this. without any serious action involvedboth in the Generalitat and in municipalities, and political leaders will no longer be able to visit work in progress to see developments.
On the other hand, in the coming days Regional Election Boards will be establishedand in the first two weeks of this month The election count, which was closed on January 31, will be exhibited in the Town Halls. We will have to wait a little longer to learn the names of all the people who will participate in the election. Municipal nominations will be announced between 18-23 April.O. The lists will already be published in early May.
By then, the most predictable thing is that the composition of the majority of nominations will already be known. In fact, some are already known, but there are places where the lists are not yet defined. Generally, where there is continuity, it is clear who will accompany the mayoral candidates, although it is not a rule that is met in all cases. No matter, it will begin for everyone The May 12 election campaign itself.
INE control over the census
to identify how many council members will be elected in each municipality In the next 28 May elections, 2022 population registrationbut the election count wasn’t closed until January 31st, so number of people to vote in each of the municipalities It is normal to have a certain movement in the previous months. which in many cases have explanations but which records May arouse suspicion in others. In this sense, in municipalities with a small population and a reduced number of voters and candidates, A single vote can make the difference between ruling by an absolute majority or spending four years in opposition..
For this reason, The National Institute of Statistics (INE) performs a thorough check on the records. in such cases. This time they were spotted Striking records in the census in the weeks before 31 January in more than 50 municipalities across Spainwere asked to justify their records. None of these towns are in the state of Alicantenor in the rest of the Valencian Community, although some cases were reported many years ago, such as in Benimeli in 2011, these cases did not ultimately change the election results in any case.
