The legislative elections are over. Anyway for the French living abroad. And the latter can vote online for the first round of the legislative elections, from 12 noon on Friday 27 May until 1Verse June.
Beginning with this election, these overseas voters have four ways to vote: at the ballot box, by proxy, by internet and mail. Online voting is only allowed for French people living outside France, and for legislative and consular elections only. Expatriate voters who wish to vote at the polls at embassies and consulates will have to wait until June 4 for those on the American continent and June 5 for all others.
150 candidates in eleven constituencies
There are eleven electoral districts covering all countries, equal to the number of French deputies living abroad since 2012. Online voting was implemented that year, but not in 2017 for the last legislative elections. It was a question of warding off potential cyber attacks, in the context of doubts about the 2016 US election that saw Donald Trump win.
Nearly 150 candidates are competing this year in these eleven districts, but not all of them have made a profession of faith or suffrage. While Emmanuel Macron received 45% of the vote in the first round of the presidential election in these regions and 86% in the second round, many will come under closer scrutiny.
This will be especially the case at 5H A foreign constituency that includes Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Monaco.
