MADRID, July 13 (Reuters) - Spain's 郵便の service said it had enough staff to 扱う the country's largest ever 郵便の 投票（する） for snap 選挙s 予定 on July 23, as a union leader said it needed to 雇う more to 確実にする no one was at 危険 of 存在 disenfranchised.
Two and a half million out of 37.4 million 登録（する）d 投票者s have 選ぶd to 投票（する） by 地位，任命する, more than 二塁打 the one million that did so during the last 選挙 in November 2019, the Correos union said.
投票者s have been lining up at 地位，任命する offices to 登録（する） for 投票（する）s and, at a time when much of the 全住民 is decamping to the coast or countryside for summer holidays, they must 完全にする and return them by July 20.
"There are bottlenecks and 列s in some 地位，任命する offices in big cities and also in the beach towns where people are already on holiday," said Alberto Perez, a Correos union leader. "We need more staff."
The 郵便の service said it had already 雇うd almost 20,000 extra staff to 扱う the 付加 workload, across 2,300 地位，任命する offices working under 延長するd 開始 hours. A third of 従業員s 予定 to be on leave had cancelled their trips to help, it 追加するd.
It also criticised 保守的な 対立 leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo, a former 長，率いる of Correos, for appearing to 示唆する that preventable 延期するs might stop some 郵便の 投票者s from casting their 投票（する）s.
"There is a 危険 that many 国民s will not be able to 投票（する） by 地位，任命する, and this will be the 責任／義務 of the 政府," Feijoo told newspaper El Confidencial in an interview published on Thursday.
He also 勧めるd postmen and women to work "day and night ...no 事柄 what your bosses say," later 説 he was not talking about 詐欺 .
In 返答, the 郵便の service said it would "stay out of 審議s that 捜し出す to 土台を崩す the country's 会・原則s and public services," 追加するing: "The 郵便の 投票（する）ing 過程 in Spain is 安全な and 安全な・保証する."
DEMOCRATIC CONSENSUS
Political scientist Pablo Simon of Spain's Carlos III University 述べるd Feijoo's comments as "very dangerous", given the 合意 of support for Spain's democratic 会・原則s since Francisco フランス系カナダ人's 独裁政治 ended in 1975.
The country's democratic 過程s have operated 大部分は unquestioned by mainstream parties since then, though a handful of 主張s of 詐欺 marred 地元の 選挙s in May.
総理大臣 Pedro Sanchez, who called the snap 選挙 after his 左派の（人） 連合 成し遂げるd 不正に in May, called Feijoo's 発言／述べるs "part of a （選挙などの）運動をする 目的（とする）d at muddying the political 審議."
Many Spaniards 反応するd with 不信 to the prospect of having to 投票（する） in the middle of summer, and 列s built up outside some 地位，任命する offices this week as people 急ぐd to 登録（する） before Thursday's 最終期限 and others 手渡すd in 完全にするd 投票（する）s.
"Everyone I know 投票（する）s by 地位，任命する because we want to spend a Sunday on the beach instead of 投票（する）ing in the city," said 25-year-old real 広い地所 スパイ／執行官 Paula Bericart outside Madrid's central 郵便の office.
Ana Sarmiento, 32, and her boyfriend 配達するd their 完全にするd 投票（する）s to a 地位，任命する office very 早期に on Thursday before 長，率いるing to the airport for a holiday abroad. "The 投票（する）s arrived yesterday evening so we did it in the very last minute".
Zaira Llano, a second union leader, said 過度の workloads could mean 延期するs, and for some out 配達するing, Spain's punishing heat was 証明するing a challenge.
"There are only 17 of us in this area and I am doing the work of two people," a postman in northern Madrid 押し進めるing a 十分な cart told Reuters on Thursday. (報告（する）／憶測ing by Corina Pons, Belen Carreno, David Latona; editing by Charlie Devereux, Aislinn Laing and John Stonestreet)
