Initially scheduled for March, regional and departmental elections were postponed to June 20 and 27 due to the health crisis. Lyoncapitale.fr gives you a summary of its articles on the subject to vote today.
The polling stations have opened since 8 hours for the regional and departmental elections in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It will therefore be necessary to vote twice, except for the Métropole de Lyon. Metropolitan voters will vote only for regional elections, because the metropolitan council, which replaces the department, has already been elected in 2020.
To vote, you must go to the polling station in which you are registered, with proof of identity. If in doubt, you can find it on your electoral card or on service-public.fr.
To follow the election evening with the candidates and the election results, LyonCapitale.fr will start a live in the early evening to inform you live.
