European residents may vote in local and European elections (and stand as candidates). For this they must appear on the municipal register (padron municipal) at the town hall (which all residents are legally required to do). Those residents who already appear on the municipal register should go to the town hall and state specifically that they wish to vote. Appearing on the register does not automatically mean residents are registered to vote, though they will have been asked if they wish to vote at the point of registration.

Please note the cut-off for voter registration will be the end of October 2010, around 6 months prior to the elections. For further details please contact the town hall of Benahavis.

HOW TO BECOME A REGISTERED CITIZEN (EMPADRONAMIENTO)

The Empadronamiento is the process of registering with the town hall as a resident of Benahavís. The process is straightforward and does not require you to become a resident in Spain. There is no charge, the information is confidential and there are no tax implications involved. Through registering, you will have (if you are a citizen of the European Union), among other advantages, the right to vote in local and European elections.

It is also important for everyone to register in order that Benahavís receives the correct amount of funds to run, maintain and improve the infrastructure, as the funding increase and government help are directly related to the number of registered voters. It is in the community’s best interest that central government funding is at a level which reflects the growing population of Benahavís, as these increased resources will be available to improve medical, postal, sports and other facilities.
In addition, being a registered citizen of Benahavís, you can enjoy all the facilities offered by our town hall, such as special rates for practising sports, sponsored trips for kids and adults, free text books, etc.
