Hi,

 Our community committee has stated that for my proxy vote to be used I must supply my DNI identification with my proxy vote.

As a non resident, I do not have a DNI number. I supplied a copy of my passport, and this was deemed not acceptable.

My research tells me the following :-

This contravenes the European Convention on Human Rights in that they are differencing between Citizens from other European Countries. It is not necessary under the Charter for a citizen from another Country to obtain another form of identification. In other words a Passport is valid evidence of identification.
This Committee have contravened that in saying that only DNI document is evidence of identification.

Can someone confirm this for me please.

Didn't know you could buy a property in Spain without having a NIE. (Foreigner's version of DNI) Under EU law it is no longer a requirement to have ID issued in another member state, and as such you are correct in saying (only) your passport is valid as ID. But that is different from your NIE number, which is surely still required for fiscal purposes, such as paying the taxes due on your property? So maybe your community administrators are just asking for your NIE? However, if it's actual identification they want, then quote the EU law chapter and verse - your passport is the only legal identification document available to British citizens now, thanks to the morons in Brussels.

You do NOT need DNI number for your proxy vote.

You need to sign and put your address is all, and add the name of who you want to vote for you in your absence.

Your administrator must know you own the property ( you can prove that in any event by producing your deeds ) and I don't suppose they queried your identification when you paid your Community Fees ???

If your Committee continue in this way you will have reason to have the whole situation annulled as it contrevenes your rights.
