Already a vote for the legislative elections. She is the first to deposit her ballot in this New York office. French people living abroad vote one week before metropolitan France. They are a total of 1,400,000 registered outside France on the electoral lists. “It’s not necessarily predictive. What we can say all the same is that, as a general rule, participation is rather low and that this participation in general has been quite low since the start of the five-year term. It is even lower among French people living abroad.explains Benjamin Morel, political scientist.

However, accommodations are provided for these particular voters. They already had the possibility of voting on the Internet between May 27 and June 1. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they are a little more than 250,000 to have opted for this online ballot, that is to say a little more than 17% of the registered ones. The results of the 11 constituencies abroad will be known like the others next week, overnight from Sunday to Monday.
