Summary
The article reveals that despite the current government downplaying the importance of the CERA (overseas vote) in electoral outcomes, in 2023 they acknowledged it could be "determinant" and potentially alter the distribution of seats in up to nine provinces where results were extremely tight. The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration had warned that the overseas vote could change the allocation of a final seat in provinces where margins were less than 2,000 votes. The article also notes that parliamentary sources suggest the overseas vote could affect up to 20 seats in upcoming general elections.
