Polling stations will open tomorrow, Sunday June 9, 2024, in France for the European elections and even this Saturday for certain overseas territories. But where is my polling station and what times does it open and close?
Finding your polling station is now the practical but crucial question that will occupy French voters, mobilized this weekend for the European elections. Once the campaign is over, voters who have heard of the projects of the various leading candidates have only a few hours left to make their choice before going to vote. This Sunday, June 9, 2024 in mainland France and even this Saturday in certain overseas territories, the French are then invited to go to their polling stations to participate in the vote which will determine the future composition of the European Parliament and influence the future policy of the European Union.
A large number of polling stations will be installed to allow every French person registered on the electoral roll to vote, and they will be open all day to encourage voting and limit abstention during the various elections. But still pay attention to the opening and closing times. As for opening hours, it’s very simple: all offices in France open at 8 a.m. However, the closing time varies from one municipality to another.
