Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFrench-Israelis wait in long lines to cast their absentee ballots in a first-round poll for the next French president poll that is widely seen as a vote on the future of the European Union.
Polling stations at the French embassy in Tel Aviv and the consulates in Netanya and Jerusalem saw thousands of voters waiting in long lines to cast their ballots.
According to Channel 10, the voter turnout for Israeli residents who are eligible voters in the French elections stands at 28.54% as of noon, just slightly more than the 28.29% of dual French-Israeli citizens who voted in the 2012 election.
