Elections in France: Low turnout in the Macron-Le Pen runoff

French President Emmanuel Macron and far-right rival Marine Le Pen are facing off this Sunday in the second round of the presidential election in a repeat of the 2017 duel.

Turnout at 17:00 was 63.23%, according to the interior ministry, two points less than at the same hour 5 years ago.

Macron, 44, led the first round of elections on April 10 with 27.8% of the vote. The pro-European president aims to become the first president to be re-elected since Jacques Chirac in 2002.

Le Pen, who received 23.1% of the vote in the first round, is making her third run for the presidency. The 53-year-old nationalist leadership hopes to become the first woman to hold the post.

Elections are expected to close at 20:00 when the last polling stations close in Paris and other cities. Until then, the French media are barred from quoting candidates or publishing polls to make sure they do not influence voters.

About 48.7 million registered to vote, though pollsters warned that turnout could be lower than in the first round, when 1 in 4 people abstained.
