There are 48 hours left to choose his candidate, before the first round of the presidential election, Sunday, April 10. An abstention is announced which could be record. Many French people are still not decided, some voters are still hesitating, as in Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin).

Will voters go to vote on Sunday April 10, and above all do they already know for whom? In the rain in Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin), Friday April 8, the last tow at the entrance to the markets, the last attempt to convince often undecided voters. “I haven’t made my choice yet, because it’s not necessarily easy to find yourself in all that we offer”, justifies a local. Themes missing from the campaign, or too many candidates and programs to navigate. Difficult for some, in a context of crisis, to make a choice.

“You have to vote for someone who has a chance of being in the second round”, says a passerby. However, there are determined and convinced voters. But even among those who have chosen their candidate, there has not always been evidence. “I made a choice, but I’m likely to change my mind”, said a man. For many voters who will move on Sunday, the choice of the ballot to slip into the ballot box is therefore likely to be made at the last moment.
