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 report irregularities (número 2 del apartado segundo de la Instrucción 1/2025, de 30 de enero)
  2. Appointment of councillors to fill vacancies caused by the absence of candidates on a list (artículo 182.2 de la LOREG)

How it affects those involved

Candidates' representatives may report irregularities within a 48-hour period, directly affecting political parties and coalitions. Local authorities and political parties must remain vigilant regarding potential complaints. Public policy or representation advisors should inform their clients about the timeframe and substance of such reports. While the process does not affect ordinary citizens, it does impact political and representative actors.
