Voting prevented in Huayla, New Caledonia
New Caledonia has seen only one notable incident so far. In Wailu, a city located on the eastern coast of the archipelago, “rioters are blocking access to the city hall, preventing the opening of various polling stations and therefore the holding of voting.”
Sharp increase in participation in New Caledonia
According to data provided by the High Commission, many voters in New Caledonia have already cast their ballots for the 2022 elections. “The estimated participation rate at 12:00 is 32.39%. In previous elections, it was 13.06% in 2022 and 15.76% in 2017,” said the High Commission of the Republic of New Caledonia.
Good morning
Welcome to the live coverage of the first round of legislative elections. Together, we will follow all the information related to this early vote.
D-Day
Will the country shift to the far right? The French people of France vote this Sunday in the first round of early legislative elections. Elections were held in the overseas territories on Saturday. The results will not be known until 8:00 p.m. Only the first two candidates from each constituency and those who receive the equivalent of 12.5% of the registered votes will qualify. It is therefore possible that voters will have to choose between two, three or even four candidates next Sunday. It is also possible that deputies will be elected in the first round.
Expected increase in participation
Polls show that participation will increase this Sunday. This is despite the short campaign and the unusual date. In 2022, abstentions reached 52.49% in the first round of legislative elections.
