The bad weather this 12-J in Euskadi added to the fear of contagion by Covid-19 is taking its toll on participation in the Basque elections. Until 12 noon, 14.1% of the electoral census went to the polls, which is 1.3% less than those who had voted at this time in the autonomous communities of 2016, as reported by the Interior Minister of the Basque Government , Estefanía Beltrán de Heredia .
Participation has fallen in all three territories. In Álava 13.5% voted, 0.4% less than in 2016, in Bizkaia 13.5%, 1.0% less, and in Gipuzkoa 15.5% 2.0% less.
At 18:00, new data will be released that will offer more reliable data on whether the pandemic really takes its toll with an increase in abstention.
It is one of the concerns of all political groups. In fact, all the candidates have appealed today to go to the polls.
