Elections in Spain
This May it is my turn to vote! In two different elections! At least they are on the same day and I can cast my vote for both at the same moment. This is also the reason why I thought that telling you in a simple way about how we vote in Spain would be an interesting way of showing you the specific vocabulary that is used during election times.
Do the Spanish words “urna” (ballot box), “jornada de reflexión” (election silence), “escaño” (seat) or “papeleta” (ballot) seem familiar to you? No? Don’t worry if you never heard of them, because they are not everyday words. However, during election time you will hear them a lot. Listen to the podcast to learn them and many more.
