Take steps to vote in next year's elections

EUROPEAN Union citizens in France only have a few weeks left to register to vote in next year's municipal and EU elections.

A campaign has been launched to prompt people to register before the 31 December, 2013, deadline as the electoral roll is updated at the end of the year.

It is a simple enough task and involves heading to your local mairie with an EU passport and proof of address, and upon completion of a short form you can take part in next spring's elections.
