Impossible to get your hands on your electoral card?
Do not panic !
We may receive a new one before each election to confirm our registration on the electoral lists, this little tricolor card is in no way compulsory to go and vote, this Sunday, for the first round of the presidential election.
Also be careful: it is not because we have not received our electoral card that we are not registered on the electoral lists!
The only obligation to be able to vote on Sunday?
"To be registered on the electoral rolls of the polling station where you present yourself and to justify your identity", specifies the Ministry of the Interior.
The electoral card confirms to its holder that one is indeed registered on the electoral list – it allows in particular to indicate the office number and his address – but does not allow proof of his identity.
For this, an identity document (identity card, driving licence, passport or even Vitale card) is compulsory, except in municipalities with less than 1000 inhabitants if the president of the polling station recognizes the person (it is better so still take proof of identity).

The electoral map, provided for by the Electoral Code, remains a symbol for many.
To those who have it, on Sunday, it will be stamped with the date of the vote, a way of confirming that we have voted.
For those who do not have the electoral map, and who therefore do not know where to vote and if they are really registered on the electoral lists, the website of the Ministry of the Interior allows you to check it.
Two pieces of information are important: the address of the polling station and its number (when there are several polling stations in the same place).
