Electoral roll was closed before Supreme Court ruling against Spain's grandchildren law
The electoral roll was finalised before the Supreme Court's interim measures on the grandchildren law, according to a post. What this timing gap means.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The electoral roll that would be used in a general election was closed before Spain's Supreme Court issued interim measures on the grandchildren law, according to a post shared on X. The gap between the two events fuels suspicion that the electoral calendar was designed so those voters would not make it in time.
The post circulating on X these days is brief and to the point: **Sánchez** calls an election and the roll that would be used was closed before the interim measures the **Supreme Court** granted under the grandchildren law. The text is signed by **Luis María Pardo** and adds an interpretation: "there's the trick". The claim mixes two facts with a suspicion, and it is worth separating them.
## What the post actually says
The message claims the election was called "against all odds" and that on **29N** the vote would take place with a roll closed before the interim measures. It provides no document, ruling or specific date for the roll's closure. The Supreme Court's interim measure on the grandchildren law is a judicial fact; the electoral use attributed to it is a political reading.
## Why the calendar matters
The electoral roll is not updated on the day an election is called. It is closed in advance, and those left out of that cut-off cannot vote even if their situation is resolved later. If the interim measures come after that closure, those affected by the grandchildren law would not appear on the roll for **29N**. That is the crux of the matter, and also its limit: without the exact closure date and the date of the ruling, the coincidence is unproven.
## What the post does not say
It does not identify how many voters are affected, does not cite the Supreme Court ruling, nor specifies which interim measures. Nor does it explain whether the roll was closed before or after the election call. These are gaps that prevent treating the "trick" as an established fact. The suspicion is an interpretation, not a fact.
If the matter affects you personally, it is advisable to check the official electoral roll deadlines and, if necessary, consult a legal professional.
