THE ESSENTIAL
- 157,632 people are still candidates in this second round of municipal elections in only 5,000 communes, but almost 40% of the voters are called to the polls.
- If in Paris the field seems clear for Anne Hidalgo, the outgoing and favorite, the suspense remains strong in Lyon and very strong in Marseille. In Toulouse, Strasbourg, perhaps Bordeaux and Lille, the night could also be long.
- The left hopes to use this ballot to perk up, it could lead the first three cities of France at the same time for the first time in history. LREM hopes to save Lyon and conquer Strasbourg. And LR to save Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux.

TO HAVE
6:03 p.m .: A record of abstention for municipal elections, according to estimates
Participation should rise from 40 to 41% at 8:00 p.m. this evening, when polling stations are closed, for the second round of municipal elections, according to estimates from three polling institutes. It should be 40%, for Elabe Berger-Levrault with BFMTV and Le Parisien, 40.5%, according to Harris Interactive / Epoka for TF1-LCI and RTL. And 41% according to Ipsos-Sopra Steria for France Télévisions, Radio France and parliamentary channels.
This is even less than in the first round, on March 15, when the already extremely low turnout did not exceed 44.66%. But beware, on March 15 all municipalities voted, today only less than 5,000. Often large municipalities where people generally vote less than in the villages. This new drop of four points may seem logical, even without taking into account the Covid-19 factor.
6:00 p.m .: Polling stations have just closed in the smallest cities! Generic top!
(Yes, the credits of the BBC elections, because we do not refuse anything!)
Hello everyone and hello everyone! What a bizarre campaign we just had. 104 days between the first round and the second round of these municipal elections, an epidemic and almost 30,000 dead and dead. The unpublished word is probably not strong enough. But here we are, on the evening of this second round, which is supposed to pay off the ballots in almost 5,000 municipalities (only) but for more than a third of the registered voters (all the same).
Here Rachel Garrat-Valcarcel, it is I who lead this national live of 20 Minutes for this electoral evening, with all the input of the editorial staff, in Paris and in our regional offices. We are together until the end of the night, I promise, you will understand everything. Find our live from the past day here.
