"If you're not able to go to the polling booth on the day, you can appoint someone to vote for you. The person you choose as your proxy must also be eligible to vote in France and be on the electoral roll. They do not have to be registered in the same commune as you, but they will have to travel to your local polling booth to cast your vote for you."
"Eligible voters include those aged 18 or over on the date of the first round and either a French citizen or a citizen of an EU nation resident in France. Only French nationals can vote in presidential and parliamentary elections, but EU nationals resident in France can vote in local elections and European elections."
"French elections take place over two rounds, with voters going to the polls twice. You can have a proxy for both rounds or just one, there is no obligation to have voted in round one in order to vote in round two, either for you or your proxy."
France permits proxy voting for citizens unable to attend polling stations, though postal voting is not allowed. Eligible voters include French citizens and EU nationals resident in France, both aged 18 or over and registered on electoral rolls. The appointed proxy must also be eligible to vote and registered. For the two-round local elections on March 15th and 22nd, voters can arrange proxies for one or both rounds. While technically possible until polling day, applications should be submitted early through local police stations or online to ensure processing. Proxies need not be from the same commune but should ideally live locally to attend the voter's polling booth.
