A voting Sunday, April 24, and a decisive day for our country. Since 8 am, the offices have been open for this second round of the presidential election. Nearly 49 million French people are called to the polls. Will the mobilization be there? We take the direction of the Ministry of the Interior, where we find Jean-Christophe Batteria.
“The figure for this participation has just appeared on the screens at the Ministry of the Interior, it is 26.41%, it is a very small jump compared to the first round 15 days ago. It is one point more, but with the same poster as in 2017, we are two points below, since in 2017 it was 26.41%”says Jean-Christophe Batteria, live from Place Bauveau in Paris.
“This is a figure that is really in line with the low average of participation rates in the second round of a presidential election, since the lowest rate was in 2002 20 years ago, and the rate of participation was 26.19%. So we are very slightly above the record for the lowest rate, in participation for 20 years”concludes the journalist.
