French Elections: Second-Round Results to Begin at 8 PM Paris

Victors to be Announced in 577 Constituencies

Polls Close at 8 PM, Final Results Expected Late Sunday Night

Paris, France - Polls have closed in the second round of France's parliamentary elections, with results expected to be announced from 8 PM Paris time onward. Voters across the country cast their ballots in 577 constituencies, determining the composition of the National Assembly.

The election has been closely watched as a test of support for President Emmanuel Macron and his centrist coalition. Projections indicate Macron's coalition is likely to secure a majority of seats, but the outcome is still uncertain.

The second round of voting was necessary after no party or coalition won an outright majority in the June 12 first round. The runoff pits the top two candidates in each constituency, with some districts seeing a rematch between candidates from the first round.

The results of the second round will have significant implications for Macron's ability to implement his policies and govern effectively. The National Assembly has the power to pass laws, approve the budget, and hold the government accountable.

With results expected to be announced throughout the evening, the second round of the French parliamentary elections promises to be a tense and decisive moment in the country's political landscape.
