Unlike presidential elections, polling stations in parliamentary elections will almost certainly close at 6 p.m. Some sections, including those in large cities, will operate until 8 p.m. This also applies to Paris.
Until the last polling station closes at 20:00, preliminary results will not be reported. Then broadcast the first results of the exit polls. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will announce the first official results in the evening after receiving the data from the polling stations.
It will be recalled that on June 12, the first round of parliamentary elections was held in France. Then the first place was taken by the pro-presidential coalition Together (25.75% of the vote). He was able to get a little ahead of the New People’s Ecological and Social Union led by left-wing populist Jean-Luc Mélenchon (25.66%). The third place with a mark of 18.68% of the vote was taken by the Marine Le Pen National Association. Turnout in the first round was a record low 47.5%.
Recent polls show that in the second round, the presidential coalition could lose an absolute majority in the lower house of parliament.
Representatives of the National Assembly are elected by direct universal voting according to the majority system. Their term of office is five years.
