This Sunday, June 30, the first round of the 2024 legislative elections takes place. 49.5 million voters are registered on the electoral lists in France. Here is all the practical information to fulfill your civic duty with complete peace of mind in Vendée.
In this first round of the 2024 legislative elections, here are the candidates and practical information for voting in Vendée. 559,555 voters are called to the polls in this department.
If in doubt, you should first check whether you are registered on the electoral roll.
There are two solutions available to you:
- contact your town hall to check that you are registered on one of the electoral lists in your municipality
- check on the secure Service-public website
In the latter case, you will then have to fill out an online form indicating the name of the municipality in which you think you are registered, your surname, first name and date of birth.
If your registration on the electoral list is effective, you will obtain your national voter number as well as the number of your polling station and its address.
On this same page, you can also request a power of attorney.
Since January 1, 2022, it is no longer mandatory to entrust a power of attorney to a person registered in the same municipality.
However, if you are designated by a member of your entourage to vote by proxy, you will have to go to their polling station to vote in their place.
You will then need to present proof of identity and, possibly, your voter card.
If you wish to request a power of attorney, this is possible on the government website Maprocuration.fr.
You will need the voter number and date of birth of the person who will vote in your place, or all of their civil status data and their voting municipality.
Even if the request is made online, you will have to go to the police station or gendarmerie to have your identity verified and the power of attorney validated.
This Sunday, June 30, it will be possible to vote for the first round of the legislative elections from 8 a.m. in mainland France.
The law sets the closing time for polling stations for this election at 6 p.m.
In some cities, the closing of polling stations may be postponed to 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. for large cities.
On election day, simply go to the registered polling station on your voter card. Please note that the absence of an electoral card does not prevent you from voting.
You must present an ID, but sif you live in a town with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, “you do not have to present any specific identification, but the polling station president must be able to verify your identity”, specifies the website of the Ministry of the Interior.
