18 year olds are automatically registered. | ARCHIVES
The question has been circulating around high schools for days. I am 18 years old in June. Do I have the right to vote? Contradictory explanations have circulated, but a detour to the service-public.fr site allows you to answer those who fear not being eligible for the right to vote.
Yes, automatic registration at 18 years old is in effect. To do this, you must have completed your Defense Preparation Call-up Day the year you turn 17. The INSEE, National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, automatically registers you when you reach the age of 18, based on the information you provided during your citizen census.
Consequently, you are automatically registered on the electoral list of the municipality where you were registered. All you have to do is show up at your polling station with an ID card.
