Question 2002 · Task 2 · Fundamental rights and duties · CCSE 2026

**In Spanish, as in the exam:** Los españoles que obtienen la nacionalidad por residencia deben esperar tres años para poder votar en las elecciones.

- a) Verdadero. (True.)
- b) Falso. (False.) · Right answer

**Right answer:** b) Falso.

## Why

There is no waiting period. The Constitution recognises citizens' right to vote (Article 23), and all Spaniards over 18 can vote. A person who obtains nationality has the same political rights as any other Spaniard.
