WARNING: This is a single-round election using proportional representation — every single vote counts

Vote online — 22 to 27 May

You will receive your login ID by email (remember to check your spam folder) and your password by SMS from the sender “CONSULAIRE”.

Log in to the online voting portal with your credentials, or via France Identité to vote from May 22nd (11:00 am UK time) and up to May 27th (11:00 am UK time).
Follow the instructions, cast your vote and confirm — that’s it!

Good to know: The portal is open from 22 to 27 May until 12 noon (Paris time), i.e. 11:00 am UK local time.

Choose a trusted person registered on the same consular electoral list as you.
Go online to maprocuration.gouv.fr.
Have your request validated by the consulate, an honorary consul, or via France Identité.
On election day, your proxy votes in your name — you have nothing else to do.

Good to know: Your proxy must vote at your polling station, not their own.

Find your polling station: the details will be sent to you by email. For these elections, your polling station will be in London (Churchill or Charles de Gaulle), Manchester or Bristol.
Go to your polling station on 31 May.
Bring a French ID document (passport or national identity card).
Cast your vote in the booth and place a single ballot paper in the box.

Good to know: You may only vote at the polling station matching your registered address.
