On June 30, 2024, France held the first round of parliamentary elections with a turnout higher than expected, reaching 26% by midday, the highest since the 1981 parliamentary election. The turnout surpassed that of 2022 by a significant margin, especially notable in Paris, where it doubled from 2022 to 25.48%. The increased interest is seen as reflecting the election's significance, with the possibility of a right-wing populist government taking the lead post-election.
