Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - PARIS — The turnout rate in France's early legislative election stood at 25.9% as of noon on Sunday, according to official sources. This rate is significantly higher than the midday figure in 2022, when it was just 18.43%.
The increase indicates renewed interest among French voters in legislative polls, driven notably by a surge of the far right, led by politicians Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella.
More than 49.3 million people are registered to vote in this election, with at least 2 million expected to vote by proxy, according to the latest figures updated the day before the elections. A total of 4,009 candidates are running in the two-round elections, spread across 577 constituencies of one seat each.
"Voting takes place from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., but this can be extended or delayed by prefectural decree. In major cities, polls often remain open until 8 p.m.," said the Interior and Overseas Territories Ministry.
The results are expected to be announced Sunday evening. In constituencies where no candidate achieves an absolute majority of over 50%, a run-off will be held on July 7 between the top two candidates.
