Part of situation: Supreme Court upholds voting suspension for ‘grandparents’ (26 clusters)

Spanish Supreme Court reviews voting rights for 'Ley de Nietos' naturalized citizens

Democratic Memory Law CERA census Spanish Supreme Court electoral rights Spanish nationality

The Spanish Supreme Court is reviewing a legal battle regarding the voting rights of citizens naturalized under the Democratic Memory Law, also known as the ‘Ley de Nietos’. A precautionary measure previously suspended the registration of these individuals in the Census of Absent Residents (CERA), effectively freezing their ability to vote in upcoming elections.

The State Attorney's Office estimates that approximately 168,896 naturalized citizens currently have suspended voting rights. This suspension specifically targets those who have not provided evidence of being descendants of political exiles. The legal dispute has intensified following Pedro Sánchez's announcement of general elections for November 29.

Political parties have taken opposing stances. Vox and Iustitia Europa have requested that the court maintain the suspension to prevent what they describe as an artificial alteration of the census. Conversely, the State Attorney's Office has appealed the precautionary measure, seeking to lift the suspension. The Supreme Court has granted a 48-hour deadline for all parties, including the Central Electoral Board and the Public Prosecutor, to submit their arguments before making a final decision.
