Where have the ballots of the National Rally and NUPES gone? In letters sent to voters, the “election propaganda” with the professions of faith of each of the candidates, it sometimes misses these last days in Dordogne the ballot papers. Several candidates were moved by it, in particular Florence Joubert, RN candidate in the Nontronnais, or Sébastien Peytavie, NUPES candidate in the Sarladais.
At the National Gathering, the departmental manager received a good thirty phone calls in two days, pointing out to him the absence of ballot papers usually accompanying the professions of faith. Same question at NUPES. In the fourth constituency, about fifty voters did not have the ballot paper in the envelope.
Excess ballots received at polling stations
Not too serious in the opinion of the candidate, who inquired. However, the printing press provided the prefecture with more than necessary. Same astonishment on the side of the National Rally, which is wondering. Voters deprived of ballots, they suspect a low blow before the first round.
Contacted by France Bleu Périgord, the Dordogne prefecture has a much more prosaic explanation. It seems that the polling stations collected more ballots than necessary, to the detriment of the electoral propaganda arriving in the mailboxes. Everyone can therefore vote for whoever they want. But without preparing the envelope at home, before going to deposit it in the ballot box.
