The Electoral Board allows manually crossing out the name of Óscar Puente on the ballots in Valladolid

The resignation of Óscar Puente has led the PSOE to view it as an opportunity to regain electoral momentum. The Electoral Board of Valladolid has ruled that ballots with Puente's name crossed out will be considered valid, despite the party's request to remove his name before printing. This decision is based on the principle of ballot immutability after candidate proclamation. The PSOE aims to clarify the new candidate list, led by Ana Redondo, and will educate voters to minimize confusion regarding the ballots.
