Question 8671 — elections and referendums

Summary

The Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs sent, on May 14, 2018, instructions to all heads of diplomatic and consular posts in order to detail the system for establishing proxies specially put in place as part of the consultation on the accession of New Caledonia to full sovereignty on November 4, 2018. It notably drew the attention of posts abroad to the points which diverge from the traditional system for establishing powers of attorney: the reason for the impediment must correspond to those exhaustively listed in Article 4 of Organic Law No. 2018-280 of April 19, 2018; the Cerfa form no. 15902* 01 specially adapted for this consultation must be used (an explanatory note accompanies it); specific useful references are indicated (information sites and legal texts). These instructions were sent in several formats: diplomatic note (ND), personalized emails and downloadable documents available on the ministry intranet. The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs also underlined the fact that French people living abroad registered on the special list for the consultation on the accession of New Caledonia to full sovereignty on November 4, 2018 and wishing to establish a power of attorney with a view to voting may have resident status or simply be passing through. The Cerfa form no. 15902* 01 was made available to the consular authorities authorized to establish powers of attorney, in two formats: cardboard Cerfas were sent, by the diplomatic pouch service, to posts where at least 5 French people registered in the Register of French people established outside France and born in New Caledonia were identified (in proportion to the number of registrants and minors included) and a Cerfa downloadable online has been reported to all posts abroad. To deal with possible questions and concerns from posts abroad raised by this special system for establishing powers of attorney, a generic address allows posts abroad to address all their questions about potential difficulties encountered to the administration. central, which supports them in this process. The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs also launched a digital information campaign on the websites of the central administration (France Diplomatie) and posts abroad to inform voters of this consultation and the arrangements for its organization.
