2014 French consular elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In May 2014, French consular elections were held to allow French citizens residing abroad to elect their delegates and consular advisors for the first time. These elections were conducted online from 14 May to 20 May, followed by in-person voting on 24 and 25 May.[1] A total of 68 delegates and 443 consular advisors were elected.[2]
These elections were the outcome of the law passed on July 22, 2013, which reformed the representation of French citizens living abroad.[3] This law followed the election of some advisors since 1982 to the Assembly of French Citizens Abroad. These bodies also included appointed members as "qualified personalities" and ex officio members.
