The Electoral Board allows the name of Puente to be crossed out from the PSOE ballot in Valladolid for the 29-N

The Electoral Board of Valladolid has acknowledged Óscar Puente's resignation from the PSOE candidacy for the November 29 elections but will not remove his name from the ballot. Voters can mark through his name instead. The board cites its long-standing doctrine that prohibits altering ballots after candidate proclamations. Ana Redondo will now lead the list. This decision allows ballots with crossed-out names to be considered valid, reflecting the current candidacy situation. Puente resigned following a political crisis linked to a train accident that resulted in 69 fatalities.
