 Questions on Membership
 

What are the benefits of becoming a member?

Membership allows you to contribute in a more meaningful way to the growth of progress and freedom in your country. It also entitles you to receive news updates on the party and invitations to party activities in the United States.

If I join, am I a full member of the People's Party, or am I only a member in the United States?

You are a full member. The membership form is sent to the People's Party in Madrid; once you are accepted, you become a full-fledged member of the People's Party.

What are the differences between members, militants and sympathizers?

The current Rules and Bylaws of the People's Party of Spain describe the figure of the party member, which has two modalities: militants subject to pay party membership fees, and symphathizers exempt from fees. Party militants enjoy a number of exclusive rights, such as the right to elect and be elected as delegates to the party Conventions, and the right to belong to the party government committees.

Does my membership transfer if I move - for instance, if I go back to Spain?

Of course. This is not to say that the process is totally automated, but the transfer is 100% real. If you need assistance in transferring your membership, either here or from the local branch of the party after you've moved, we will be glad to help.

How can I update my membership information?

If you are already a member of the People's Party of Spain and would like to update your personal information on your membership file, please use our information update page.
