the essential
More than 18,000 proxies for the first round of legislative elections on Sunday have already been registered by Toulouse city hall, which is recommending that latecomers act quickly.
The number of proxies could reach peaks for this first round of early legislative elections this Sunday. This Wednesday, June 26, the Toulouse town hall alone had already registered 18,703 proxies. It’s a lot but, according to Sacha Briand, elected in charge of elections since 2014, it is not yet a record. This figure would correspond, according to him, to the enthusiasm observed during the second rounds of the presidential elections.
It is still possible to make a proxy for Sunday. In theory, until the last minute. But, at the Capitol, it is strongly recommended to do it as soon as possible. Because the proxy must be sent from the central police station or the gendarmerie brigades to the elections office of the town hall. Then it is necessary to check with the INSEE file that another proxy in the same name does not exist elsewhere.
How to make a power of attorney
There are three ways to make a power of attorney: by filling out a paper form and going to a police station, a gendarmerie brigade or a court (where the form is also available).
To save a little time, it is also possible to complete your power of attorney online but you will still need to have it validated at a police station (with proof of identity and the registration reference received by email).
Finally, the completely paperless procedure involves having the new identity card (credit card format) as well as a digital identity certified by France Identité. That is to say, for the first time, you have to go to the town hall to have your identity verified.
