French election 2022: live results and projection from the second round
The election on Sunday 24 April is a runoff to decide between the first two candidates from the first round of voting on 10 April.The runoff is decided by simple majority of valid votes: if either candidate gets one more vote than the other, he or she is elected. There is no electoral college and no role for parliament.
For most of the campaign, it seemed that Macron, the incumbent president, would win comfortably in the second round. But a surge in Le Pen’s polling in the final weeks made this more doubtful. A key factor will be how much support Macron can garner from those who voted for leftwinger Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round., but for Macron this support is more ambivalent than he might have hoped.
