Candidates' representatives have 48 hours to raise irregularities in municipal council appointment

The Resolution of 9 February 2026 announces the appointment of Federico Krumnack as councilor in Oyón-Oion due to vacancy from the 28 May 2023 local elections. Representatives of political parties have two days from publication in the BOE to raise irregularities, as per paragraph 2 of section 2 of Instruction 1/2025 (BOE 31, 5 February). This mechanism allows review of the file before final appointment.

In 2 key points

  1. Candidates' representatives have 48 hours to report irregularities (número 2 del apartado segundo de la Instrucción 1/2025, de 30 de enero)
  2. Designation is carried out due to councillor vacancies following the 28 May 2023 elections (artículo 182.2 de la LOREG)

How it affects those involved

Candidates' representatives have a 48-hour window to report irregularities, directly affecting their ability to respond to potential breaches. Municipal authorities must ensure transparency throughout the replacement process. Party advisors must monitor this timeframe and prepare formal complaints if doubts arise. While the process does not affect ordinary citizens, it directly impacts political teams and representatives.
