But by midday I found out from Baba who just came back from voting that all was not quite as rosy as I thought alas... He said that many, many people could not find themselves on the lists at the Mairie. People had to go and find their picture and name with Carte Nina numbers as the first step in the voting. Once they had managed to find themselves on the lists, they would know what voting bureau to go to – the voting bureaus are all 24 found in different class rooms at the main school above.
