According to the latest polls, the Ensamble alliance would get 27% of the vote, while the Nupes leftists would have 26.5%. The first round of the parliamentary elections will take place on June 13.

With just two days to go before the first round of the French parliamentary elections, Macron’s alliance is level with the left-wing coalition in the polls. The campaign ends this midnight and has gone quite decaf due to its proximity to the recent presidential election in April.
The latest survey released Friday by the demoscopic institute Elabe points to a low voter turnout, around 45.5% and 49%.
According to that survey, President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble (Together) alliance would have 27% of the vote in the first round (2.5 points more than a week ago) compared to 26.5% of the left-wing Nupes coalition (1.5 % more than predicted last week), which in practice would be a technical draw.
The far-right National Group, for its part, retains 19.5% of the voting intentions, 2.5 points less than a week ago, while the conservative Republicans, with 1.5 points less, fall to 11% of the vote.
In this way it is confirmed that the election will be decided by the duel between Ensemble and Nupes (which brings together socialists, communists, environmentalists and Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s leftist La Francia Insumisa).
Likewise, it also confirms the traditional demobilization of far-right voters in the parliamentary elections, which is activated to try to bring Marine Le Pen to the Elysee (she reached the second round in the last two presidential elections in April), but it is much less motivated for what parliamentary work is.
French electoral system
The National Assembly election is a succession of 577 small elections at the level of each constituency. The second round will take place a week later, on June 19.
In any district, if no candidate gets 50% of the vote in the first round, which happens very rarely, the first two and those who get the vote of at least 12.5% of the registered voters go to the second, which is In practice this means that almost all second rounds are between two or a maximum of three applicants.
The key to this year’s election, analysts say, will be whether the union of the left and environmentalists could endanger Macron’s absolute majority, who would then have to turn to conservatives to pass new laws in the National Assembly. .
