Question 20739 — elections and referendums

Summary

Mr. Philippe Gosselin draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the application of Law No. 2016-1048 of August 1, 2016 revamping the procedures for registration on the electoral lists, known as Pochon-Warsmann, and the implementation of the Single Electoral Register. Entering into force on January 1, 2019, this law aims to simplify the procedures for registration on the electoral lists. These are now managed by INSEE within a single electoral register (REU) whose purpose is to allow the continuous updating of these electoral lists, at the initiative of either the municipalities or INSEE. Thus, the electoral lists are now permanent, and registrations on them can be submitted until the sixth Friday preceding the election. During the European elections of May 26, 2019, numerous errors were reported on voting day, from European or French citizens, who have been unduly removed from the electoral lists even though they met the conditions to fulfill their electoral duty or who have not been automatically registered by INSEE even though they have turned 18. Depending on the situation, the schedule, the distance, the age of the people concerned, and even in certain cases the malfunctions of the State's IT services, did not allow the verification and validation of regular registration by a district court. These situations are obviously not acceptable, and prove incomprehensible to those citizens concerned. He asks him what measures he intends to take to identify the number of these errors and remedy them.
