High turnout confirmed

I am sitting in front of the TV in lobby now, and by 5 PM 73,9 percent had alredy voted (+15 percentage points compared to 5 PM in 2002). Five years ago, the final turnout was only 71,6 percent. So turnout will really be high.

Later our group will have an election night at the Swedish club on Rue Rivoli in Paris, but I plan to also cross the river to the Parti Socialiste headquarters on Rue Solferino.
