La Fiscalía pide al Supremo que permita el voto a los nacionalizados por la 'ley de nietos' en las elecciones del 29N

The Public Prosecutor’s Office has requested that the Supreme Court refrain from reviewing the electoral roll for the November 2026 elections, citing serious concerns regarding legal certainty and the imminent closure of the voter registry. This position aims to prevent the gradual suspension of new registrations and acknowledges the practical impossibility of processing cases affected by the “grandchildren law” within such a short timeframe—a view shared by the State Attorney’s Office. For citizens naturalized under this provision, the immediate consequence is the guarantee of their right to vote without the need for urgent administrative procedures. The decision prioritizes legal certainty over the technical updating of the electoral list, offering a pragmatic resolution that avoids a regulatory vacuum and ensures the political participation of this group affected by previous precautionary measures. This case is relevant to open data because it illustrates the direct impact of restrictions on the availability and updating of census data on democratic transparency. It demonstrates how the management of public information must balance legal rigor with citizen accessibility, highlighting the importance of having open, updated, and clear databases to facilitate the integration of new citizens and prevent inadvertent exclusions in future electoral processes.
