Lecturer in sociology, Jérémie Moualek publishes images of invalid ballot papers on Twitter daily.
The man from Beauvais has been recovering documents archived in the departments of Oise and Seine-Saint-Denis for several weeks, reports France Bleu.
The objective: to highlight votes considered “invisible” but whose message is often very strong.
As he explains to our colleagues, the researcher came across rants, testimonials, tributes to certain candidates or even real calls for help.
Sometimes, voters do not hesitate to attach objects in the envelope to illustrate their remarks.
Vote “Helpful”
Often, newsletters are also an opportunity for some to indulge in the joke.
Like this voter who wrote the name "UTILE" on his paper because "I was told to vote useful, it's done".
2 months from the 1st round, I start publishing a daily tweet in the line of @renaud_epstein (🙏):
One day, a ballot (archived) 🗳️

For Jérémie Moualek, the invalid vote is "a very thoughtful gesture".
He has already set aside more than 20,000 ballots, from the Maastricht referendum in 1992 to the presidential elections of 2012.
