Elections: What IDs can be presented to vote?

In a response dated April 4, 2019, the Interior Ministry said that it is possible to present a passport or a national identity card (CNI) that has expired less than 5 years ago, which means that voters will be able to present:

• passports issued for up to 15 years;
• national identity cards issued for a maximum of 20 years.

The Ministry also calls on mayors to apply the rules with care, especially when the facial features of voters are easily recognizable on photographs of these documents (even if they have been out of date for more than 5 years).

Regarding the driver's license, as proof of identity at the time of the vote, even though the decree of November 16, 2018 mentions only the secure driver's license, the ministry indicates that voters can nevertheless present a driver's license (old model) in cardboard.

The Ministry recalls that 12 different pieces are allowed at the polling station, to justify his identity.
