Kicking off this key election, these voters abroad have a total of four voting methods: at the ballot box, by proxy, by internet and by post.
Internet voting is only authorized for French people living outside France, and only for legislative and consular elections.
There are 11 constituencies covering the globe, and as many deputies for French people living abroad since 2012.
150 candidates in 11 constituencies
Internet voting was implemented that year, but not in 2017 for the last legislative elections.
It was a question of warding off possible cyberattacks, in the context of suspicions about the 2016 American election which had seen the victory of Donald Trump.
Nearly 150 candidates in total are running this year in these 11 constituencies, but not all of them have filed a profession of faith or a ballot.
Thus, the ex-LREM deputy M'jid El Guerrab, recently sentenced for an assault, gave up presenting himself ten days ago and supports the ex-minister Elisabeth Moreno, invested by the majority in the constituency of the French of the Maghreb and West Africa.
It was "
too late
" for a withdrawal and "
there will be no bulletin in my name
", he explained to AFP.
On June 4, the first ballot will take place in French Polynesia and for French nationals living abroad who vote in embassies and consulates on the American continent.
