It’s the final sprint in the town halls, with the end of registration on the electoral lists this Friday, May 3 in the evening. Since the end of online procedures this Wednesday midnight, only the counters in town halls are still open. Like in Nancy, where the services will still welcome latecomers who come to register at the last minute. “As online registrations are closed, we have a few more people coming here, in paper format“, confides Sébastien Colette, the head of the elections service at Nancy town hall.
Bring all your papers
The latter reminds the importance of bringing the necessary papers for this last day of opening at City Hall, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.. “As it is the last day, the best is to have a complete file. So you need identity papers and proof of address, less than 3 months old. That is important, because the texts provide that the document must be less than 3 months old.”
Marine will ultimately not need these documents. This 22-year-old from Nancy came this Thursday, after seeing that same morning that the deadline was fast approaching. “It’s true that the media that I follow relayed the information at the last moment so I woke up at the last moment“, confides the one who came to check if she was indeed registered. An essential step according to her. “It’s true that we tend to think that other elections are more important, but these elections are just as important, given what is happening in the world. And if we want to take a position and ensure that things change, well, we have to vote.“
