Voter turnout in France's 2026 legislative elections stood at 21% nationwide as of 3:00 PM local time, according to official figures released by the Interior Ministry. This figure represents the percentage of registered voters who had cast a ballot by that hour.
The elections are being held to elect members of the National Assembly. Turnout at 3:00 PM is a key indicator that election analysts use to gauge overall participation, though final turnout is typically higher as polls remain open into the evening.
At this stage, no further details on regional variations or comparisons with previous elections have been officially confirmed. The Interior Ministry is expected to publish updated turnout figures later in the day.
Voting continues across the country, with polls scheduled to close at 6:00 PM in most areas and 8:00 PM in larger cities. Official results will be announced after the polls close.
