Turnout in France’s snap parliamentary elections on Sunday was 59.39% at 5:00 PM (1500 GMT), the Interior Ministry said, some 20 points higher than at the same stage in the last such polls in 2022.

This would equate to a final turnout of 67.5-69.7% when polling stations close this evening, according to projections by several polling organizations. The final turnout in 2022 was just 47.5%.
