Algerian man allowed to vote despite not having French nationality

In Grasse, the perfume capital on the French Riviera, a 52-year-old Algerian man was allowed to vote despite not having French nationality.
Of Algerian parents, Abdelkrim Fodil was born French but was stripped of his ID papers in 2004, after the authorities ruled he should have lost his French nationality following Algeria’s independence in 1962.
But Fodil is still on the electoral lists kept by the town hall in Grasse, which says it was never informed of the authorities’ decision, and sees no reason to prevent him from voting.
