Your situation

  • You don't have a letter
Edit

After you submit your application for registration on the voters list, the mayor must send you a letter within 7 days to inform you of his decision.

If you do not receive this mail and you are not registered on the voters list, you can appeal to the court. The court's decision cannot be appealed, but it can be appealed on a point of law.

It is possible to check your registration on the voters list using this online service:
