"Alice Bouilliez expressed her surprise and joy at winning the court case to restore her right to vote in local elections after losing it post-Brexit."
"Fouchet emphasized that the court's ruling highlighted the fundamental nature of voting rights and could pave the way for restoring rights for other British citizens in France."
A French court ordered that Alice Bouilliez, a British resident in France for 38 years, be reinstated to the electoral register, restoring her right to vote in local elections. This unexpected ruling has reignited discussions about a bilateral treaty to protect voting rights for expatriates. Bouilliez's legal battle, which began in 2020, aimed to challenge her disenfranchisement after Brexit. In a significant statement, the court found her disenfranchisement to be a fundamental infringement of her rights, prompting hopes for similar outcomes for other disenfranchised British citizens in France.
