How to vote in legislative elections? Find the address and hours of your polling station.

Only a few days left before the first round of the 2022 legislative elections! It takes place this Sunday, June 12. Two months after the presidential election which saw the victory and the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, the French are again called to vote and go to the polling stations this Sunday, June 12 to elect their deputies to the National Assembly . These legislative elections, if they include a local issue with 577 constituencies and as many deputies, also have major consequences at the national level. Less than two months after having renewed Emmanuel Macron as President of the Republic, the French will give him a majority in the lower house of Parliament or will they force him to cohabit?

Nearly 49 million people are expected in the polling stations. But the participation rate is given barely around 50%. To vote, you still need to know the process and above all know where you should drop off your ballot. You can only vote in the municipality where you are registered on the electoral lists. How to find your own polling station? From what time is it open? What is the closing time? What documents do I need to present to be able to vote? So many questions on which Linternaute answers you. But if you have already taken part in the ballot for the presidential election, no big change is to be expected!

What is the opening time of the polling station?

Are you in a hurry to vote? A common rule governs the opening time of polling stations during elections, whether legislative or not. In all the places in France where it is possible to deposit a ballot, the opening time is fixed at 8 am sharp.

What is the closing time of the polling station?

If the opening time is common to all the polling stations, the closing time, on the other hand, diverges. Concretely, the schedule set for the closing of the poll is not the same whether it is a question of the big cities or the rest of France. In the vast majority of municipalities in the country, polling stations close their doors at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. or even 8 p.m. depending on the size of the municipality. Voters in large cities, such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, Toulouse, Rennes, Strasbourg or Nice will be able to vote until 8 p.m.

If you traveled to vote in the presidential elections, your polling station did not, a priori, change location. So just go to the same place as last April 10 and 24 during the presidential election, near you. However, if you are in doubt, don’t panic. It is very easy to find your polling station. First, the address is written on your voter card. If you no longer have it (which is not prohibitive to be able to vote, read below), the Linternaute.com site allows you to easily find the address of your polling station using our search engine. Just enter your city to find the addresses and times of polling stations.

What documents must be presented at the polling station?

Here again, it is the same regulation as for the presidential election. When arriving at the polling station, you must present your voter’s card and an identity document. However, the first is not mandatory. On the other hand, the second, yes, whether it is an identity card, a passport (even expired less than five years ago), a driving license or even a vital card with Photo. In municipalities with less than 1000 inhabitants, the identity document is not compulsory “but in case of doubt, the president of the polling station may ask you to prove your identity by any means”, indicates the administration.
