Question 39796 — elections and referendums

Summary

Mr. Jean-Paul Lecoq questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery on the distribution of electoral circulars for candidates in departmental and regional elections entrusted to a private company, Adrexo. This privatization has led to a break in equality in the civic information delivered by the State to citizens for the purposes of these ballots, since, throughout the national territory, we no longer count the number of errors and failures which marked this distribution. The simultaneous organization of the two elections on the same day, however, called for clear and reliable information from the State to each household. However, the fact of receiving only one of the two propaganda envelopes or of receiving them in stages only increased the confusion among many voters. Finally, this new organization, by doing without the service public postal service, considerably lengthened the time between the writing of professions of faith by candidates and election day. Indeed, the candidates' circulars had to be submitted on May 10, 2021 for a vote set for June 20, which required writing a month and a half before the vote, while for the previous elections this deadline was limited to a few days (delivery of circulars on March 2 for a vote set for March 15 for the 1st round of the 2020 municipal elections; delivery of circulars on June 4 for a vote set for June 28 for the 2nd round of the 2020 municipal elections). He therefore questions him about what led the Government to choose the privatization of this service; the cost of billing for this service by Adrexo; the penalties applied by the State to this company for the service not provided but also the provisions that include make the State a shareholder in the La Poste group so that this distribution will once again be ensured in the future as part of the universal public mail service.
