French voters go to the polls on Sunday April 24 for the second round of the presidential election, a rematch of the 2017 duel between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen.

• After overseas and abroad on Saturday, polling stations open at 8 a.m. in mainland France.

• Referee and great unknown in the ballot: abstention is likely to be high, even higher than in the first round (26.31%).

Just like the white and null ballots which had reached a record in 2017, attesting to the refusal of millions of French people to choose between the two finalists.
