The government opposed it at the beginning of the year, mainly for security reasons. But it has now been used since 2012 for the vote of French people living abroad in consular and legislative elections. For them, online voting has a more obvious advantage, as some live very far from the nearest polling station, constituencies sometimes spanning dozens of countries.

What was the use of the tests of the past months if this bug was not detected? We are laughed at. It is a denial of democracy.

2:32 p.m. : Since yesterday, French people living abroad can vote in legislative elections via the internet (physical polling stations open on polling day). But many Internet users report a technical problem for voters who use an email address from the Yahoo provider, on the pages Facebook and Twitter of France Diplomatie and in our comments. The Quai d’Orsay has not yet reacted publicly. The outgoing deputy LREM of North America Roland Lescure I hope a resolution of this bug before June 1st, the closing date of online voting.
