Power of attorney: A first step toward a fully online power of attorney

This procedure is complementary to the paper-based procedure, which is still possible if you cannot or do not want to use the digital channel. So you can still do the process according to these 2 other modalities:

• print the form available on the internetthen hand it over, in person and with proof of identity, to the gendarmerie or police station or to the court or to a place open to the public defined by the prefect;
• fill in by hand the form available on site (gendarmerie or police station or court, or place welcoming the public defined by the prefect) and present in person a proof of identity.

How's it going?

Want to establish a proxy? The new system is implemented in 3 stages:

1. You make your power of attorney request on maproxy.gouv.fr after you have authenticated via FranceConnect and provided an email address. You indicate the municipality where you vote, the identity of the person who will vote for you and specify for which election or period you want to give power of attorney. Once you have validated your request, you will receive a 6-character reference by email.
2. Equipped with this file reference and an identity document, you go to a police station or a gendarmerie brigade, regardless of its location. The judicial police officer (OPJ) or judicial police officer (APJ) authorized by the judge, enters the reference in a dedicated and secure digital portal. Your identity will then appear on the screen and will be checked against the identity document presented. Validation by the OPJ or APJ triggers the instantaneous transmission of the power of attorney to your registration commune.
3. You will be notified by email as soon as your city council has validated your power of attorney.

Saving time and simplifying for everyone

This arrangement reduces the time needed to establish proxy voting for all actors in the chain:

• Voters, who can now apply online for power of attorney from a computer, tablet or smartphone.
• the 100,000 authorized police and gendarmes, before whom voters must always appear in order to limit the risk of fraud, but whose time spent drawing up powers of attorney will be considerably reduced;
• municipal services for which the processing of powers of attorney is dematerialized and simplified.
