Candidates' representatives: 2 days to denounce irregularities preventing council appointments

The Resolution of 18 May 2026 announces the appointment of two council members due to vacancies in Ripoll (Girona) resulting from no candidates on the list. Representatives of the candidacies have 2 days from publication in the BOE to denounce irregularities that would prevent the appointment, as provided in point 2 of paragraph 2 of Instruction 1/2025 (BOE 31, 5 February). This mechanism enables replacement of local representative posts in cases of vacancies due to lack of candidates.

In 2 key points

  1. Candidates' representatives have 2 days to file complaints about irregularities (número 2 del apartado segundo de la Instrucción 1/2025, de 30 de enero)
  2. Appointment of councillors by vacancy due to absence of candidates on the list (artículo 182.2 de la LOREG)

How it affects those involved

Candidates' representatives can file complaints about irregularities within 48 hours, directly impacting political parties and coalitions. Local authorities and parties must remain vigilant for potential complaints. Public policy or representation advisors must inform their clients about the time limit and the content of the complaint. The process does not affect ordinary citizens, but does impact political actors and representatives.
