Show answer and explanation
✓ Un derecho
In Spain voting is a right, not an obligation. Nobody can be punished for not voting. The Constitution recognises the right of citizens to take part in public affairs through the vote. It is a detail that is confused with other countries where voting is compulsory. Remember: voting is a free right, and you can choose to abstain, cast a blank vote or cast a spoiled vote.
