Wonder if anyone here has information or could point to a resource on how a CERA Spanish national might be able to vote outside of their consular area.

My son has Spanish citizenship and is registered as a CERA but is currently in southern France.

Not sure if there is a Spanish consulate nearby where he could vote, or if popping across the border would be easier if it is possible to vote at any polling place in Spain. We are registered as voters in Valencia.

He has only just become of age to vote, and he feels strongly enough about what is happening in Spain to want to participate.

@chris keep in mind that are two types of registrations: permanently abroad, or temporary. If your son is permanently registered as citizen abroad, he should get the documentation in the registered address. However, he should have registered quite some time ago. If he is temporarily abroad, he should have notified it to the local consulate.

@threkk yes. He is registered permanently. I have received my package, and I expect he will get his tomorrow or Friday…. But here in Canada. Thus his dilemma :)

@chris I think he needs to vote via mail, iirc

@chris I've never been in your (or your son's) place, but AFAIK the easiest way is vote by mail:

The link is old, but the info is still good.

@chris if you are registered on your consulate, you should receive the documentation to vote, either on a consulate (I believe doesn't matter which) or by mail. I received all the documentation (except the actual ballots, which can be downloaded from a URL and you can print) yesterday, so if you haven't received anything yet it should arrived soon.
