Does NationBuilder add voting district information for France?

Official response from

Yes, when auto-districting is enabled, voting districts will be added to profiles in France. A person's profile will display political districts based on his primary address. That address is used to automatically assign people to voting districts.

These steps need to be completed for voting district to appear automatically in France:

1. Make sure your nation location is in France. This can be set at Settings > Contact (Paramètres > Contact). This ensures that the French localization of voting district terms are displayed. Click the "Save contact info" button ("Enregistrer les coordonnées") at the bottom of the page to save changes. 

2. Go to Settings > Defaults > Basics. (Paramètres > Par défaut > L'essentiel) Check the box next to "Enable voters" ("Électeur") You can also change the language used in the control panel to French (FR) from the Control panel language drop-down menu. Then click the "Save settings" button ("Enregistrer les paramètres").

3. Go to Settings > Political > Settings. (Paramètres > Politique > Paramètres ) Make sure the box is checked next to "Automatically update Regional & Circonscription sénatoriale when an address changes." ("Mettre Régional Circonscription sénatoriale à jour automatiquement quand une adresse change.") This enables auto-districting. Then click the "Save settings" button ("Enregistrer les paramètres").

The below screenshots include French localization of voting districts with English as the control panel language.

Every person who NationBuilder can plot on a map will get their districts assigned like this:

And you can then filter them like this:
