The government wants a fully online proxy to now be possible for all elections, as will be the case for the European elections, Matignon indicated this Monday, April 23.

Since mid-April, it has been possible, as long as you have a new version of your identity card (in bank card format), to give your power of attorney for the European elections of June 9 online, without having to go to a police station or gendarmerie brigade.

Visiting France Services this Tuesday

Gabriel Attal will announce this Tuesday that this possibility will also be open to the next elections, in particular the municipal elections in 2026 and the presidential election in 2027, indicated Matignon.

The Prime Minister will go to Hauts-de-Seine for the occasion, to visit one of the 2,700 France Services houses, these structures which allow users to get help in the most of their administrative procedures. A new wave of opening of these places will be announced, indicated the Prime Minister's office, particularly in medium-sized towns.

Digital identity is necessary

M. Attal will also unveil an artificial intelligence tool, developed internally, which will help public agents generate a response to questions formulated by users, with the key to promise of significant time savings. A response that the agent will then have to reread and validate before sending it, specifies Matignon.

To be able to give your proxy online for the European elections, it is necessary to have the new identity cards in bank format, which provide access to the France Identity application , provided that you have first visited the town hall to obtain digital certification.
