Opening of polling stations
The opening time of polling stations for the 2024 legislative elections is set at 8 a.m. in France.
How does the opening of a polling station take place? To open a polling station, it is essential to have a sufficient number of envelopes and ballots to cover all the voters registered on the electoral roll. The constant presence of two assessors is required in the station. If this number is not reached, the station must remain closed. To avoid this situation, the president of the station can designate, among the voters present at the opening, the youngest and the oldest to temporarily fill the role of assessors. He can also call upon a member of the municipal council, who is then obliged to accept this mission.
Closing of polling stations
The closing time of polling stations for the 2024 legislative elections is set at 6 p.m. in France.
But an order from the prefect can bring forward or delay these times, by one to two hours. In all cases, an office must be closed at 8 p.m. Generally, it is applied in very large cities, so that as many voters as possible can come and vote. In Brest, for example, polling stations are open until 7 p.m. This is also the case in Rennes and Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande.
How does the closing of the polling station take place? Once the doors are closed, the office tellers count the envelopes in the ballot box. The number of envelopes must correspond to the number of signatures recorded in the signature form. If this is the case, the counting of ballots can begin. These electoral operations take place under the supervision of representatives of the candidates, members of the office and interested voters.
Results times
Once the counting is completed, the results are announced. The results of the legislative elections will be published on the Télégramme website from 8 p.m. with, initially, estimates, partial results then final results, constituency by constituency in each department.
