A French court ordered that Alice Bouilliez, a British resident in France for 38 years, be reinstated to the electoral register, restoring her right to vote in local elections. This unexpected ruling has reignited discussions about a bilateral treaty to protect voting rights for expatriates. Bouilliez's legal battle, which began in 2020, aimed to challenge her disenfranchisement after Brexit. In a significant statement, the court found her disenfranchisement to be a fundamental infringement of her rights, prompting hopes for similar outcomes for other disenfranchised British citizens in France.
Alice Bouilliez expressed her surprise and joy at winning the court case to restore her right to vote in local elections after losing it post-Brexit.
Fouchet emphasized that the court's ruling highlighted the fundamental nature of voting rights and could pave the way for restoring rights for other British citizens in France.
