Citizens for Blank Votes (Spanish: Ciudadanos En Blanco) is a Spanish political party.
Voting "blank" is not the same thing as abstaining, and so it has been argued that blank votes should be recognized as legitimate by apportioning empty seats in representative bodies according to the number of blank votes.
Abstainers, the argument continues, exclude themselves from the democratic process and so need not be recognized in this way.
[citation needed] The platform of Ciudadanos En Blanco is that, if elected, their candidates will leave their seats vacant, until such time as the Spanish electoral law is reformed to recognize blank votes in the manner described above.
