Permalink Live: Voter turnout at 25% at midday in first round of presidential election

French voters are voting in the first round of presidential elections after a campaign overshadowed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Interior ministry figures estimated turnout at 25.48 percent at midday on Sunday, down three points from corresponding figures for the first round in 2017.

Eleven challengers – from a Communist on the left to anti-immigration candidates on the far right – are looking to unseat the incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, as he seeks to become the first French president to win re-election since Jacques Chirac in 2002. The two candidates who garner the most votes will qualify for the election’s second and final round on April 24.
