The so-called democracy feast is organized thanks to a mechanism that three administrations (local, regional and state) intervene in line with the directives of the Ministry of Interior and have been working on for months. This Sunday, more than 3.7 million citizens of the Valencian Community were called to vote to elect the next president of the Generalitat Valenciana, which represents 34.95% of the people of Alicante. 1.3 million voters in the province, 5.6% higher than the 2019 popular vote.
The big numbers differ little from the previous 2019 call (the cost is the same), but two pieces of information need to be highlighted. First, the province of Alicante has been confirmed as the second region with the right to vote in the country after Madrid in terms of foreign population, and also that a total of 66,933 new voters have a chance to go to the polls. first time.
The two components help draw up a selection map of over 6,000 tables in the Community; 2,228 of these will be distributed throughout the province and will be distributed to 707 schools, which will open their doors on Sunday from 9:00 am. until eight in the morning.
A total of 24,187,520 white ballot papers were printed to elect the councilors of 141 municipalities and three small local units and those who would administer the Provincial Assembly, to elect representatives in the municipal buildings and the Valencian Courts.
When schools close, the count will begin, which includes postal voting. There was a decrease in this call compared to previous elections. According to data from the Government Delegation, there were 26,928 applications (19,302 in person and 7,626 online), representing 2% of the census; this is a slightly higher rate than other designations, but within normal limits.
Finally, there will be data transmission, another development that brings the counts forward on election night. On 28 May there will be 2,903 representatives in the Community, of whom 1,069 will be responsible for ensuring that results are transmitted telematically, which will be provisional until published in the Official Gazette.
