Junta Electoral Allows Voting With Spain’s MiDNI App

The decision follows the Interior Ministry’s pledge to give each polling table a camera‑enabled device that will verify the app’s temporary QR code in front of voters.

Overview

  • The Junta Electoral Central has lifted its earlier ban and will accept the MiDNI mobile application as valid ID for the 29 November general election.
  • The change rests on the Interior Ministry’s guarantee that every polling table will have a device with a camera and browser that runs the official MiDNI QR verifier.
  • Electoral staff must open the verifier page and scan the temporary QR code generated by the app in front of the polling table during voter accreditation.
  • The JEC made a specific point that the MiDGT digital driving‑licence app will not be valid for voter identification on election day.
  • MiDNI has been legally usable for identification since April, but the new rule shifts the issue to logistics and training for polling stations and could affect check‑in speed, equipment reliability, and staff procedures on voting day.
