How to Ensure Your Travel Plans Aren’t Disrupted by the General Elections: Tips for Booking with Peace of Mind and Getting the Right Insurance

Lorca

Cancellation travel insurance is increasing before the general elections on July 23. Travel agencies are already working on the creation of special insurance so that clients do not lose money. In other words, if we have to go to a polling station, they will refund our money as long as the insurance has been taken out before the polling station member was called. “Not all insurances include a return, it has to be a specific insurance that details that it is fully reimbursed if they call us from the polling station,” said Grego Millán, a travel agent in Lorca who has indicated that travelers can book with peace of mind and that they take out insurance to stay calm.

What happens if I have booked the trip on my own?

Experts recommend contracting a cancellation policy or one that allows you to change the travel date flexibly with the airline and the hotel. And if several people travel, you have to take out insurance for each user.

And if it is impossible to cancel the trip, can the Electoral Electoral Board allow me to leave?

“If it turns out that a person has a plane ticket bought since November because they have to go to a congress or meeting in New York, we should have no problem going on a trip,” said Millán, who has stressed that now that we know that there are elections it is advisable to take out insurance because if not, we “play it”.

When will you be notified if you are a member of a polling station?

The different Town Halls of the Region will carry out the draws between June 24 and 28. And the designation as President and Member of the electoral tables must be notified to the interested parties within a period of three days, that is, before July 2. The selected people may resign within a period of seven days and communicate it to the Electoral Board of the Zone, but any reason is not valid.

Deadline to request a vote by mail

The period to request a vote by mail is now open and will end on July 14 as the deadline. Between July 5 and 16, all the necessary documentation will be received at home to be able to cast the vote by mail.

What is clear is that insurance must be taken out before the end of June and that if we have to go to the polling station it will be difficult to go on vacation. The positive side, we will not lose money if we take out the insurance.
