Travel agencies ask the Electoral Board to exempt those with booked vacations from polling stations on November 29.

The Spanish Confederation of Travel Agencies (CEAV) has requested the Central Electoral Board to unify criteria for exempting individuals with pre-booked trips from serving on electoral boards on November 29. UNAV-Fetave supports this, arguing that trips booked before notification of appointment should be considered valid excuses if documented. CEAV emphasizes the need for legal certainty for travelers and agencies, referencing a similar decision made during the July 2023 elections. UNAV-Fetave's president, César Gutiérrez, highlights the importance of balancing civic duties with the rights of travelers to avoid economic harm from cancellations. They advocate for a permanent criterion to avoid repeated debates in future elections.
