The Third Chamber of the Spanish Supreme Court has issued orders to suspend the voting rights of thousands of naturalised Spaniards. This precautionary measure follows appeals by **Vox** and Iustitia Europa against a Central Electoral Board (JEC) agreement. The JEC previously claimed it lacked competence over the electoral effects of the 2022 Democratic Memory Law. This legislation grants nationality to descendants of those exiled during the Franco regime, with exile status presumed for departures before 1956. A six-magistrate tribunal reached the decision after four hours of deliberation, with Alicia Millán dissenting. While the suspension remains in place, the court does not expect to deliver a final judgment on the law's electoral impact until December 2026. ## Related news [#Spain]() [#DemocraticMemoryLaw]() [#SupremeCourt]() [#SpanishCitizenship]() #ElectoralIntegrity 23 October 2026 at 15:43 ## [Spain Court Orders List of 163,020 New Citizens]() > The Supreme Court demands a list of individuals granted nationality via the Democratic Memory Law to verify electoral voting eligibility. #SofiaPuente [#DemocraticMemoryLaw]() [#SpanishNationality]() #MadridCourt #HazteOir 21 October 2026 at 13:43 ## [Madrid court investigates Sofía Puente for prevarication]() > Judge Inmaculada Lova Ruiz admits a complaint against the Director General regarding expanded nationality criteria under the Memory Law.
