EU citizens: your right to vote in France

Clair 01/11/2007, 18:21
Who can vote:

As an EU citizen living permanently in France, you have the right to vote for your French member of the European Parliament (MEP) and at the municipal elections, provided that:

  • you are over 18
  • you have not been deprived of your voting rights in your country of origin

How to register:

You need to provide:

  • a completed registration form (see below)
  • a proof of identity (valid passport or resident card)
  • a proof of residence (copy of taxe d'habitation or recent EDF bill for example)

There are two lists held for EU citizens and you must be listed on both lists to be able to vote for both elections.

Liste complémentaire pour les élections des représentants Français au Parlement européen (Download the form HERE)
Once registered on this list, you lose the right to vote for MEP elections in your country of origin.

Liste complémentaire pour les élections municipales (Download the form HERE)
You can vote in the commune in which you pay your taxe d'habitation.

When to register:

You can register any time during the year. The lists are revised and updated up to 31st December, but you will only be able to vote from 1st March of the following year.
You will be given or sent a voting card.

I know us Brits have a bad reputation for not turning up to vote at elections and that you French are much more political than we are but, Clair and 5-element, here's one person (2 included the OH) who have already filled in both forms ready for next March or whenever!Big Smile [:D]
