Porting this post over from Tumblr, where I know I have followers in Canada, the US, Germany, the UK and Sweden, and because this info can also apply to other districts abroad (see below)—we have Nouveau Front populaire candidates qualified for the French legislative runoffs in nearly all districts abroad and they all have a serious chance of winning, including in these districts:
- 1st district (Canada, US): Oussama Laraïchi
- 3d district (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, the UK): Charlotte Minvielle
- 7th district (Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia): Asma Rharmaoui-Claquin
Each campaign needs all the help they can get! In addition to voting for them in person or online this week (see below), French voters abroad can get involved in the campaigns via the info posted on their websites. If you live in an area where the NFP scored high in the first round, such as Berlin, you can also help out in other cities!
To vote for these candidates in the runoff, if you're registered to vote at your consulate, you have the following options:
- in person: Saturday, July 6 (American continent/Caribbean) & Sunday, July 7 (all other districts) - bring a form of ID, no carte électorale necessary
- by proxy (procuration): best way to find someone is to reach out to the campaigns directly, as they make sure to vet the folks who will go vote for you
- online: Wednesday, July 3 at noon to Thursday, July 4 at noon (Paris time) - if your email & phone number were up to date by June 28 here
The outcome of this election is not written in stone and it is truly down to a smaller number of votes than you'd think. A lot of us abroad simply don't know we can vote or don't think it counts, and I'm here to tell you we CAN and it DOES! See you at the polls!!!!
