To ensure the smooth running of the elections, the City of Arles must recruit volunteer assessors, at least 70 volunteers, in order to man the 35 offices of the municipality on Sundays June 30 and July 7, 2024. The role of an assessor is to control the voter’s registration, have him sign on the voting list. He participates in the counting, and signs the minutes and the annexed documents. To participate in this citizen exercise, all you need to do is be registered on the electoral list of the municipality or department, and send a request, specifying availability (morning, afternoon or full day) and the desired polling station: – by email to [email protected] – or by post to Arles town hall – Population Service – Pôle Élections – 13 rue Romain Rolland – 13637 Arles cedex.
