Martine Vassal during the first round of municipal elections - Chamussy / Sipa

According to information from France 2 and Marianne , a candidate on the lists of Martine Vassal, the LR candidate for mayor of Marseille, offers voters to entrust their proxy for the second round of municipal elections without having to carry out this process in a police station to have their identity authenticated. A completely illegal practice.

Concretely, this running mate offers its services by SMS. She then requests a copy of the identity document, then, as shown by a hidden France 2 camera, the filing of such a proxy is done directly within the campaign premises of Martine Vassal. Despite very favorable polls, candidate LR, favorite before the first round, was in second place, behind the left candidate Michèle Rubirola, in a context of high abstention linked to the coronavirus epidemic.
