How to vote in France

  • 9 June 2024 in France.

    8 June 2024 in the overseas departments of Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guyana, the overseas territories of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint-Martin and French Polynesia, as well as in the polling stations open in the French embassies and consulates on the American continent.

You can also find your polling station on this website "Check your electoral status" (in French). Polling stations are usually located at the town hall or other public buildings of your municipality.

    As a French expat living in another EU country or a third country and willing to vote for candidates running in France, you vote in polling stations organised by the French embassy or consulate of the country where you live.

    If you are unable to go to the polling station, authorities make it easier for you to apply for a proxy vote: you can ask a police officer to come to your home to issue the proxy.
