More votes than neighbors leave the Belle Époque of Benicàssim without a mayor

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General5 September 2026 at 21:01

As Villas were finally left without a mayor. The first symbolic election held this Saturday within the Belle Époque of Benicàssim ended without a winner after, during the count, more ballots appeared than registered neighbors.

Given this incident, a management committee was established composed of three neighbors, including Rosana Alegre. The article does not specify the names of the other two members of the committee.

The problem arose when the organizers realized that the number of votes counted exceeded the number of voters registered in the poll book, which made it impossible to determine a legitimate winner.

The Belle Époque of Benicàssim is a cultural and festive event that includes this symbolic election as part of its activities, but the irregularity in the voting process prevented the normal conclusion of the democratic process.
