Election Agent Exchange

It is an electronic platform provided by the SGMAI Electoral Administration through which electoral agents (table members) are recruited, in order to ensure the smooth functioning of polling stations or polling stations on election or referendum days.

Citizens registered in the electoral register can register with the Electoral Agents Exchange. Citizen voters registered with the Electoral Agents Exchange are only designated as polling station members when the number of citizens selected to join the polling stations under the terms provided for by law is insufficient and only in the area of the municipality where they are registered.

As polling station member and on Election Day, the Electoral Agent can perform the functions of President of the Polling Station, Vice-President of the Polling Station, Scrutineer or Secretary.
