As the first and second round fall during the Easter holidays, it is better to organize well to get to the voting booths. Update on the closing hours of polling stations for this presidential election.
This Sunday, April 10, millions of French people will therefore go to the polls for the first round of the 2022 presidential election. But be careful not to miss the boat by going to the polling station after closing.
The vast majority of polling stations in France will open at 8 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Some will however remain open until 8 p.m., by prefectural decision.
Big cities like Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Toulouse, Lyon, Nantes and Nice have already taken it. Thus, their polling stations will close here at 8 p.m.
If in doubt about the hours of your polling station, contact the town hall of your municipality (link HERE).
