From 9:30 AM on April 21st, citizens of Córdoba will be able to check if they have been selected to be part of an electoral table. This draw is a fundamental step in organizing the regional elections, which require citizen participation for their proper conduct.
For each electoral table, a president and two members will be appointed, along with their respective double substitutes. The law establishes the obligation to attend the electoral table if selected, and failure to comply with this obligation can lead to legal consequences, potentially being considered a crime.
Eligible citizens to form a table must be between 18 and 70 years old, although those over 65 years old have the option to decline. An essential requirement for all members is to be able to read and write. Additionally, the table president must hold a School Graduate or Baccalaureate degree.
The presidents and members of each electoral table, as well as the substitutes who ultimately become titulars, will receive a stipend of 70 euros for their collaboration in the elections, in addition to being entitled to a five-hour reduction in their working day the day after the elections.
It is estimated that around 3,500 Cordobans residing in Córdoba capital will be designated to staff the 387 electoral tables. This figure represents an increase of six tables compared to the last European elections two years ago, and they will be distributed across various schools in the city. The City Council plans to enable a search tool on its website to facilitate citizen inquiries.
