Ahead of France’s 2022 presidential election, the government says it will seek to modify electoral laws to allow early voting on electronic machines. But the proposal is meeting backlash from the opposition.
With the topic looming large among lawmakers, political parties in the Senate were clashing this week over the latest draft amendment by the government to modify electoral laws.
The government says it wants to allow early voting on electronic machines up to five days before Election Day to increase voter participation.
The political opposition says there’s no need to change the law on such short notice.
