French Elections Ahead: National Assembly to be Dissolved Early, Polls Indicate Far-Right Party Could Secure a Majority

France holds early parliamentary elections

On Sunday, June 30, France will hold early elections to its National Assembly. President Emmanuel Macron made the decision to dissolve the National Assembly and call for early elections on June 9. Polling stations will open at 08:00 local time and generally close at 18:00, although some cities and departments have different opening hours. The results are expected to be known late in the evening or at night.

Voters will elect 577 members of parliament, with an absolute majority requiring 289 seats. If a candidate wins a majority of votes in the first round with a turnout of over 25%, they will secure a seat in parliament. Otherwise, a second round will be held on July 7. Polls indicate that the far-right National Rally party, led by Jordan Bardella, could win the largest number of seats in the French National Assembly, with predictions suggesting they may secure nearly 40% of the seats. The left-wing New Popular Front coalition is expected to take second place, while the Together coalition, including Macron’s Renaissance party and the Republicans party, may come in third.
