Carla Bruni Sarkozy in South Africa
The first lady was not registered to vote in France on December 31, 2007, deadline for voters in the elections of 2008.
In local elections, citizens of the European Union resident in another member state are entitled to vote, provided they have registered in the country in question.

Look no more pictures for Sunday Carla Bruni Sarkozy in the process of voting. The First Lady of France is unaware at the polling station. A spokesman for the French presidency has indeed said that "at December 31, 2007, the future Mrs. Sarkozy was registered to vote in Italy", and not in France. Or to be able to vote in municipal elections, it was necessary to register as voters before December 31 this year.

Because although Italian, the First Lady would have been eligible to vote Sunday. Since the adoption of the Maastricht Treaty, in fact, citizens of the European Union resident in another member state are entitled to vote, provided they have registered in the country in question. Anyway, Carla Bruni Sarkozy should obtain French nationality shortly. "The procedure for obtaining French nationality is underway. It would vote for the next election in France," said the Elysée.
