HOW TO VOTE BY POST IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BE OUT OF MANILVA ON THE 22nd MAY
The Spanish voting process gives you the opportunity to vote even if you are not in Manilva the 22nd of May.
HOW TO PROCEED
You will have to ask personally in any post office for the form (Manilva, Sabinillas). An identity card is compulsory to show when requesting to vote by mail. The period is from the 29th March to the 12th May.
·Complete the form with the address where you would like to receive the documentation. It has to be an address in Spain, it cannot be sent abroad.
·Sign it and give it back to the post officer that will confirm your identity (your passport, residence or any ID card with a photograph will do). The post officer will stamp the form and will sent it by registered mail (free of charge) to the Oficina del Censo (Census Office)
·- The Oficina del Censo will send to the address indicated in the above mentioned form the documentation to vote. This process will start from the 25th of April.
·The postman will handle to you PERSONALLY the documentation and will ask you to confirm your identity (ID card, passport, residence)
·If you are absent, he will leave a note asking you to collect the documentation at the post office. Again this is something that you will have to do personally.
VOTING DOCUMENTATION
You will receive an envelope containing:
a. A certificate of being registered in Manilva electoral census.
b. A white A5 form for each of the political parties with the logo of the party, listing the names of the representatives leaded by the candidate to mayor, and a small white envelop marked “Elecciones Municipales”).
c. Another envelope (bigger) addressed to your voting district (Mesa Electoral)
Process as follows:
·Choose the form of the political party you would like to vote for and insert it into the small white envelope, and close it. (DO NOT MARK THE PAPER IN ANY WAY ( NO X )
·Put this small envelope into the big envelope together with the certificate of being registered in the electoral census (Certificado). If you fail to insert this certificate your vote will not be valid.
·- Close the big envelope marked with the address of your electoral district (mesa Electoral).
·Take it to any post office before the 17th of May to be sent by registered mail. This process is free of charge.

The Duquesa Society of St. George
Friday, April 22, 2011
The Duquesa Society of St. George held it’s annual St. George’s dinner dance on Thursday 21st April. The Society, which was formed in 2005, organises at least two events each year, the actual St. George’s celebration dinner dance which has been held for the last few years at Macues Restaurant in Duquesa Port, and a summer ball and BBQ which is held at the H10 Hotel in Estepona.
Over the years, the organisers have managed to raise money from these events for charites such as Help the Heroes, Los Claveles Cancer charity, and has raised money to go towards the building of a school in Nepal for the orphans of Ghurka soldiers.
For it’s main organisers, William Downes, commonly known by those that frequent Duquesa Port as “Billy the Fish”, it was his last St. George’s dinner as Billy is leaving Spain to return to the UK to run a Country Inn called the Rose & Crown in Wiltshire. Billy moved to Spain approximately 10 years ago and opened “Billy’s Fish & Chips” in Duquesa Port. The current Mayor of Manilva, Antonia Munoz, was also in attendance at Thursday’s dinner dance as everyone showed their appreciation for all the hard work that Billy has put into the organising of the annual events and to wish Billy and his wife, Sandra, a safe journey back to England. Billy has handed over the future organisation of the events to another well known supporter, Dean Shelton.

Duquesa Port
Monday, April 18, 2011
…I was talking to someone the other day and apparently people don´t know why we have water fountains in the Duquesa port and think they are a waste of money. Did you know that they were done because the septic tank that has caused problems in Duquesa for 30 years is gone. Did you know that from the Town Hall they worked to solve a problem that was driving the local owners crazy every time the sewage blocked and their basements filled with crap and the smell was horrible. The fountain is just a small gesture of beauty after fixing a problem long time due. So….if you are not very happy with the design, that is a personal opinion, but the fountain was placed there as a reminder of the fact that the horrible septic tank is out and in it´s place we have a nice fountain to help make the Port nicer.

Know your town- 14th of April!
Tuesday, April 5, 2011
Diego Urieta, councilor of the Foreigners´ Department and Sports is inviting you on another tour of the Manilva Town. This initiative is designed to inform citizens of the beauties our town has to offer: the Castle, parks, sports centre, etc.
The trip is scheduled for Thursday, the 14th of April at 10.00 at the Duquesa Castle and will have another pick up in Sabinillas (Supersol bus stop) at 10.10. Personally I have been on this trip and discovered parks and facilities offered by the Town Hall that I did not know they exist and was impressed with the development of our town over the last years.
The tour will also offer breakfast or some tapas after.
If you would like to sign up on this trip, free of charge, please send us a PM or contact The Castillo de la Duquesa on 952 893 548.
Hope to see you there!

Are you on the list?
Monday, April 4, 2011
Are you a resident in Spain? Are you on the padrón? If the answer to this last question is YES, our next question is: are you registered to vote?
Registering on the padrón doesn’t mean you have the right to vote. This is done separately, by registering your option in the Tenencia de Alcaldia or the Town Hall.
The deadline for registration was the 31st of January 2011, but for the residents wanting to express their right to vote there is now another opportunity.
Between the 4th of April and the 11th of April 2011 the list with the citizens registered to vote will be made available in the Tenencia de Alcaldia in Sabinillas and in the Town Hall of Manilva.
If you are not on that list, but you were registered on the padrón before December 2010, you can request the right to vote in the elections on the 22nd of May.
Don´t miss your chance to have your say in how your community is run.
If you want more details or need any FREE help or advice with the process or paperwork, etc. please send us a message.

We remind you that as a citizen of Manilva you have to be registered under the padrón in the city where you live or work, and also inform us of any change of address you do.
So, in order to register under the padrón in Manilva or Sabinillas you have to go to the following offices:

The current registered population is of 14.346 individuals, distributed in Manilva, Sabinillas and El Castillo and numerous urbanizations. This number of inhabitants usually triples during holiday season.
If you are registered under the padrón you can, among other things, register your kids in school, have access to council homes, process your National Identification Document or Passport, request scholarships, vote in the elections and even get married.
But you also must know that depending on the number of individuals registered in the Town Hall, we receive from the Junta de Andalucia and the Government the economical support.
