Lanzarote Elections 2019.
“One vote can change the future” No matter how incidental you feel your vote is remember that, that one crucial vote could be the difference between conquering or being left out in the cold. We believe so we lobby, and we vote, and we conquer, you should too; it’s your future so use your right and vote for what you want and what you are entitled to.
You will be aware in May the local elections will be held and as foreigners we have the right to vote and to have a say in our future and in that of the generations to come. The Lanzarote Business and Residents Association is an established lobbying group whose strength is in its numbers. It is a non-profit association that works for, and represents, residents, businesses and property owners in Lanzarote. We are non-political and are not affiliated with any party or other association and on behalf of our members we have drafted our proposals in readiness for the forthcoming elections. These proposals will be presented to all the Town Halls and interested parties.
If you care about your fundamental rights and your future then you should listen to what your local political parties and councillors are proposing and take action and vote. REMEMBER “One vote can change the future”
