Voter turnout in French parliamentary election sharply down

Turnout in the second round of France’s parliamentary election Sunday was sharply down on the last vote five years ago, official statistics show.

By midday only 17.75 per cent of the electorate had cast a ballot, down from 21.41% at the same time in the 2012 election and 19.24% in the June 11 first round of voting.
