If you do not have a valid passport or identity card, other documents may replace it.

Attention, this time these must be valid.

• State official's identity card with photograph

• parliamentarian's identity card with photograph

• local elected official's identity card with photograph

Last document, even more unexpected: the hunting license - valid, always, and with photograph - is authorized.

Please note that the hunting license issued by the National Biodiversity Office is not valid.

Electoral card not essential

If the identity document among the list mentioned above is imperative, it is not so for the voter card.

“The electoral card is not an identity document.

It is not compulsory to vote, ”explains the Ministry of the Interior on its site.

6 p.m. or 8 p.m. at the polling station, it's okay!

You arrive on the wire at the polling station, at closing time?

If you cross the threshold of the polling station at 6 or 8 p.m. sharp, depending on the closing time of your office, it is impossible to refuse you access to the polls.

At least two newsletters!

The rules require that each voter take

two ballots before going to the voting booth.

With only one ballot in your possession, you will be denied access to the voting booth.

Deliberations and discussions between voters prohibited

Did you come to vote with your better half, a family member or a friend?

Keep your comments to yourself until you leave the polling station!

Confidentiality dictates that voters keep their vote secret and keep their political beliefs silent within the voting establishment.

Patience, patience, soon the release... The political debates will animate the external conversations soon enough!
