2,641,852 proxies have been established since June 10, to vote in the legislative elections. This is four times more than in 2022 at the same time.
As of June 28, more than 2.6 million proxies have been registered by the Ministry of the Interior, in preparation for the legislative elections, BFMTV learned from Beauvau.
In detail, 2,641,852 proxies have been established since June 10. Between June 10 and 28, the rate of dematerialization – i.e. proxies made online – was 75%.
Compared to the legislative elections of 2022, before the first round, there were 4.1 times more proxies.
The two million mark was crossed on Wednesday
The barrier of two million proxies was crossed on Wednesday June 26, four days before the first round of voting, with precisely 2,124,918 proxies since June 10. The number of proxies was already twice as high as that of the first round of the legislative elections of 2022 (1,021,350 proxies).
Unlike these elections caused by the unexpected dissolution of the National Assembly, the dates of the 2022 poll were known well in advance and proxy requests were able to be spread out over time.
Furthermore, the legislative elections took place on June 12 and 19, while the second round will take place this year on the first weekend of the school holidays.
