French voters participated in the first round of snap parliamentary elections on June 30, 2024, with a record turnout of 59.4% by 5 p.m. The far-right National Rally (RN) led by Marine Le Pen emerged as the frontrunner, securing approximately 34% of the votes, with some polls projecting RN to win 260-295 seats. This development marks a significant shift in French politics, as the RN is now closer to power than ever before. President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance, which called for the snap elections following a defeat in the European Parliament elections, garnered only about 20% of the votes, placing third behind the left-wing Popular Front alliance, which received around 28%. Macron's gamble with the snap elections appears to have backfired. The high turnout and the RN's strong showing indicate a potential historic win for the far-right in the upcoming second round of voting. The final outcome remains uncertain, as no party is expected to achieve an absolute majority, leading to a likely hung parliament.

Neither Marine Le Pen’s National Rally, nor its previous incarnation under her father, the far-right National Front, has ever come near to holding power at national level in France. Today’s vote could change this https://t.co/lFZCp3kgTz 👇
The surprise decision by French President Emmanuel Macron to hold snap elections has backfired badly. Marine Le Pen's nationalist and anti-immigrant National Rally Party has spectacularly won the first round of the two round parliamentary elections, winning 34% of the vote.
BREAKING: Reuters reports that Marine Le Pen's party is 'now closer to power than it has ever been' after first-round election results, but that final result will 'depend on days of horsetrading before next week's run-off'

MARINE LE PEN, COMMENTING ON FIRST ROUND OF FRENCH PARLIAMENT ELECTION, SAYS FRENCH PEOPLE HAVE PLACED FAR RIGHT NATIONAL RALLY (RN) PARTY IN FRONT
According to the exit polls, Le Pen's party is expected to place first in today's legislative first round, but pollsters still project a hung parliament overall (Very, very difficult to estimate for run-offs though)
🇫🇷 Marine Le Pen’s hard-Right National Rally party was seen leading the first round of parliamentary elections with around 34 per cent of votes, pollsters IFOP, Ipsos, OpinionWay and Elabe said on Sunday. Read more here ⬇️ https://t.co/d7wKMOoF4A https://t.co/hOtBoaOU3C

Marine Le Pen’s National Rally was on track to dominate the first round of France’s legislative election https://t.co/O0oq6LyqMm
France exit polls out. Le Pen's RN set for 240-310 seats - and needs 289 for majority. Macron's ENS likely to get 60-138. These estimates are subject to a lot of change as results come in (take lightly). But RN majority and Macron's party <75 seats would be a bad outcome for $EUR https://t.co/ot8K7MCf8n
The first estimate has the RN (Le Pen's party) first at ~34%, the NFP (the left-wing alliance) at ~28% and Ensemble (Macron's alliance) at ~20% at the national level. What it will mean in seats exactly will depend on the district-by-district results, but Macron's party is dead.
