00:00The stream of voters has been moving into France's police stations non-stop.
00:06Many people who were set to leave for their summer vacation could not do so without registering
00:12to vote by proxy for the snap election.
00:17In the past, I sometimes went on vacation without voting by proxy.
00:21But this time, the stakes seem important.
00:26I voted in the European election, but this vote by proxy seems even more important because
00:32this election will impact my country.
00:34That's why I came here today.
00:37Because this vote could radically change parliament.
00:41The far-right national rally is expected to become France's biggest party, and that has
00:47pushed many to take the time and register.
00:50There are several ways to do so.
00:54You can either fill in a paper document at the local police station, come with your ID
00:59card and vote a number.
01:00You can also fill in a document online and have it only validated at the police station
01:05with the same documents.
01:07In some cases, you can do the whole process online.
01:11One million people have registered to vote by proxy so far.
01:16Six times more than in past elections.
