The Junta Electoral Central (JEC) is the electoral commission for elections in Spain, monitoring and registering provincial elections, district elections, those of self-governing districts and general elections. It supervises the vote at polling stations. Its mission is to "ensure the transparency of the electoral process and monitor the performance of the Electoral Census Office."[1]
It is based in Madrid, and was created by Spanish law on 9 June 1985.
Composition
It comprises eight judges from the Supreme Court of Spain, five active professors of law and sociology, a secretary, and the Director of the Oficina del Censo Electoral, who has a casting vote but is otherwise a sleeping partner.
