Political parties in Spain have commenced organizational preparations for the 2027 municipal elections.

In the Ourense region, the PSdeG-PSOE has begun configuring upcoming candidacies, with the goal of presenting candidates in every municipality. In Valdeorras, current mayors Aurentino Alonso of O Barco and Sherezade Núñez of Vilamartín are confirmed to run again.

In Santiago del Teide, Coalición Canaria has selected Fidel Montesdeoca as its mayoral candidate. His platform focuses on improving public services, security, and cleanliness, specifically emphasizing the renewal of coastal tourism infrastructure and addressing the needs of higher-altitude residential areas.

In Pontevedra, the Partido Popular (PP) has initiated preparations with candidate Rafa Domínguez. Domínguez has met with the local board to emphasize the need for increased community presence and direct contact with citizens. His priorities include job creation, youth opportunities, housing access, mobility, and addressing homelessness and urban cleanliness.

Regarding voter eligibility, data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) highlights the scale of the electorate. Across Spain, there are 345,312 registered EU electors. In Castilla y León, León holds the highest number of EU electors with 1,953 residents. In Galicia, 8,256 EU citizens are registered, though an additional 10,864 residents could potentially join the census if they manifest their intent to vote by the December 30, 2026, deadline. To exercise voting rights, EU citizens must have previously expressed their intention to vote in Spain via the INE electronic office or local town halls.
