Electors residing abroad who wish to vote will have to apply to the Provincial Delegation of the Electoral Census Office corresponding to their inscription, before May 28.

After the elections almost five months ago, the crossed vetoes and lack of concessions of the parties in a country not accustomed to political fragmentation, prevented agreements and forced to the celebration of new elections on June 26.

The last elections were considered the most hard-fought in almost four decades, before the surge of groups Podemos and Ciudadanos, that broke the traditional alternation in power of the parties Popular (PP) and Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE).

Then, Spaniards punished bipartidism between the PP and PSOE, ridden over the last years by numerous corruption scandals and found responsible by the citizenship for the drastic cuts in social services such as health and education.

Judging by recent surveys, the institutional paralysis will not end with that second electoral round, predicting a fragmentation of votes similar to the last contest, when none of the parties achieved the necessary majority to form government.
