Inposdom and Spanish Consulate to facilitate postal voting for Spaniards in Dominican Republic

Ahead of Spain’s upcoming national general elections scheduled for November 29, 2026, the Dominican Postal Institute (Inposdom) has formalized a cross-institutional collaboration with the Consulate General of Spain based in Santo Domingo to roll out a dedicated, priority operational framework that removes logistical barriers for Spanish citizens residing legally in the Dominican Republic to cast their ballots. This coordinated special initiative was launched in direct response to an official formal request submitted by the Spanish consular mission, and will be executed under the direct oversight of Erick Alberto Guzmán Núñez, the designated leadership of Inposdom. The end-to-end priority workflow will cover the accelerated intake, administrative processing, and secure, time-sensitive delivery of all electoral correspondence, ensuring every expat voter meets the strict submission deadlines set for the election of members to Spain’s Congress of Deputies and Senate. Official demographic data released by the Spanish government, updated as of January 1, 2026, records a total of 35,588 Spanish nationals currently residing across the Dominican Republic. For expats who are formally registered in the Electoral Census of Absent Residents (known locally by its Spanish acronym CERA), the deadline to submit their completed postal ballots to the Santo Domingo-based Spanish Consulate falls on November 24, 2026. Voters who opt for in-person voting instead can visit the consular premises, located at Avenida Independencia No. 1205 in the Zona Universitaria district of Santo Domingo, to cast their ballots between November 21 and November 26, 2026, inclusive. Inposdom has also published dedicated contact channels for voters seeking clarifications on election-related postal services: members of the public may call 809-534-5838 and dial extensions 247 or 250 for real-time support. The national postal agency has publicly committed to implementing every necessary procedural safeguard to guarantee that all electoral mail is handled with maximum efficiency, so that Spanish expat residents can fully exercise their democratic voting rights well before the official cut-off timelines.
