# Legal Challenge to Grandchildren's Law Votes 27 October 2026 at 15:01 > Iustitia Europa seeks a Supreme Court injunction to suspend electoral effects for new citizens registered under the grandchildren's law. **Iustitia Europa** has filed an urgent request for precautionary measures with the **Supreme Court**'s Third Chamber to suspend the electoral effects of those registered via the 'grandchildren's law'. This instruction was prepared by **Sofía Puente**, sister of Transport Minister Óscar Puente. The party demands that votes from the **Census of Absent Residents** (CERA) be kept separate and under custody by electoral boards. They argue these should not be counted until the Government identifies the specific parent from whom each nationality derives for all registered members. By late August 2026, over 195,872 nationalities were granted under this route, with 134,405 more pending. President **Luis María Pardo** seeks to block registrations linked to the Puente instruction before the November 29 elections to ensure full identification of all files. #GrandchildrensLaw [#SupremeCourt]() [#CERA]() [#SpanishElections]() #IustitiaEuropa ## Related news ## [Supreme Court rejects urgent census suspension]() 30 October 2026 at 17:30 ## [Court orders list of 163,020 affected voters]() 28 October 2026 at 16:43 ## [Prosecutor backs CERA census suspension]() 9 October 2026 at 15:11 ## [Spain suspends voting rights for new nationals]() 7 October 2026 at 10:31 ## [Supreme Court sets 48-hour deadline for CERA case]() 6 October 2026 at 17:38
