Power of attorney, electoral map, identification documents, ballots, voting booth: our answers to your questions

I have a power of attorney for the vote on Sunday 26 May, will I receive a confirmation document?

Service-public.fr's response: “No. If you are going to vote for someone who is absent and has given you a power of attorney, it is perfectly normal not to receive anything. It's the person who gives you the power of attorney who must notify you. Then, on election day, you show up at the polling station of the person you are voting for only with your ID.”

Is my voter identification card required to vote on Election Day?

Service-public.fr's response: "No, you will be able to show up at your polling station with only your ID (national ID card, passport, driver's license...). You don't have to show your electoral map.”

What ID can I present at the polling station to vote?

Service-public.fr's response: "As a general rule, to be able to vote on election day, you must prove your identity in the polling station by presenting one of the pieces of identification defined by an order of 16 november 2018.”

How many ballots do I have to take before I go into the voting booth?

Service-public.fr's response: “You just have to take at least 2 ballots (to keep your vote secret). Or you may not take a ballot from the voting room if you use one of the ballots you received at home a few days earlier.”

At the polling station, do you have to go through the voting booth?

Service-public.fr's response: "Yes, in order to guarantee the secrecy and personal nature of the vote, you must go to the polling booth where you will cast your ballot in the electoral envelope provided for this purpose. The president of the polling station may effectively refuse the suffrage of an elector who has revealed the meaning of his vote or require him to go through the polling booth in order to restore the secret character of his vote."
