Re: 2024 French legislative election 13 by Wei The results of the first round of voting for the French legislative election in 2024 have been announced. It seems that Macron's hopes of winning more than half of the seats in the National Assembly are no longer possible.

According to a June 28 poll by the French Institute of Public Opinion (Ifop), voter turnout for the first round of legislative elections on June 30 is projected to reach 67% (a 3% increase within a week), 19.5 percentage points higher than the turnout for the 2022 legislative elections. This figure is close to the 1997 turnout following Chirac’s early dissolution of parliament (approximately 68%) and will set a record for the highest voter turnout in nearly thirty years. Data released by the French Ministry of the Interior on June 29 indicates that the government has processed over 2 million proxy votes, more than double the number in 2022. Statistics show that factors such as education level, economic income, and age are positively correlated with voter turnout. Young people have consistently been one of the groups with the highest abstention rates. The second round of elections coincides with the first weekend of the student holiday, but 19% of young people aged 18-24 stated that they have postponed their holidays to vote. https://www.yicai.com/news/102172493.html (Chinese) Attal, Gabriel https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Attal,_Gabriel Bardella, Jordan https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Bardella,_Jordan Suivez le débat entre Gabriel Attal, Jordan Bardella et Manuel Bompard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqi3NNIdEaI Quote Sun Jun 30, 2024 10:21 pm
