Four steps to participate.

COMITES elections take place by mail. First request your package, then follow the instructions sent with your ballot.

01 / REQUEST

Join the electoral list

Send the required request by November 4, 2026. AIRE registration alone does not trigger mailing.

02 / RECEIVE

Receive your package

Eligible voters who complete the request procedure receive the voting materials at their registered address.

03 / VOTE

Complete your ballot

Read the enclosed leaflet and follow its instructions for marking the ballot and preparing the envelopes.

04 / RETURN

Mail it in time

The completed ballot must reach the Consulate by December 4, 2026.

Step 1 · Before November 4

How to request your voting package.
