Record Voter Turnout in French Parliamentary Elections

The French parliamentary election's second round saw a substantial increase in voter turnout compared to 2022. By midday, 26.3% of voters had cast their ballots, a notable rise from the 18.99% figure in the previous election's second round.

In a significant development, the second round of the French parliamentary election on Sunday witnessed a higher voter turnout compared to the same round in 2022, according to the interior ministry.

By midday, the ministry reported that 26.3% of eligible voters had already cast their ballots, marking a sharp increase from the 18.99% turnout recorded by the same time in 2022.

This surge in voter engagement is seen as a positive indicator of rising public interest in the parliamentary process.
