Outgoing French President Emmanuel Macron was re-elected with 58.54% of the vote once morest Marine Le Pen (41.46%). This result, a clear victory, is however tempered by the narrower gap than in 2017 with the far right and high abstention (28%).

In small villages, the gaps can widen dramatically and so they often have surprises in store. Thereby, Caubous, a small hamlet in Haute-Garonne with seven registered voters, is the village where Emmanuel Macron has progressed the most in percentage between the two rounds. Indeed, he had obtained no votes in the first round and finally obtained 100% of the votes cast in the second round. Voters had overwhelmingly voted Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round. The other voices went to Anne Hidalgo and Valérie Pécresse.
Among cities with more than 30,000 electors, it is Montreuil, in Seine-Saint-Denis, that Emmanuel Macron has made the most progress between the two rounds. This city, which had voted 55% for Jean-Luc Mélenchon once morest 18% for Emmanuel Macron in the first round, opted for the Republican barrage by voting for Emmanuel Macron at nearly 83% in the second round, an increase of more of 65 points.
Marine Le Pen has made the most progress in Abyss, in Guadeloupe, in cities with more than 30,000 voters, rising from 16% to almost 75%, an increase of 58 points. She was able to benefit greatly from the vote transfers of the 64% of voters who had chosen Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the first round. Abstention barely budged between the two rounds in this city.
The abstainers of the second round
It is once more in New Caledonia that we find the most abstentionist municipality; this time it’s regarding Pouebo with 98% abstention out of 2,411 registered voters. The only 48 voters chose Emmanuel Macron there at 83%. In the top three abstentionists, we also find Get upin Corsica, a small town with 34 registered voters, of which only one voter came to slip… a null ballot into the ballot box.
In municipalities with more than 30,000 registered voters, the first three towns where the least votes were cast are located overseas: Fort de France (56%), Les Abymes (54%) and Noumea (53%) thus all three have more than 50% abstention. In mainland France, it is once more Roubaix voters turned out the least, with abstention going from 41% in the first round to 48% in the second round. A similar score in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille, one of the arrondissements of the “northern districts”.
It’s at Montagagnea small village in Ariège with 61 people registered on the electoral lists that voters lost the most, with abstention increasing by nearly 30 points between the two rounds (from 20% to 50%).
The vote of the ten largest municipalities in France
The ten largest cities voted overwhelmingly in favor of Emmanuel Macron, who benefited from the postponement of the votes of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who came out on top in almost all of these cities in the first round (with the exception of Paris, Lyon, Nice and Bordeaux, where the outgoing president came first).
Emmanuel Macron benefited the most from the vote transfers to Nantes, rising from 30% of the vote to 81%. Unsurprisingly, it is Nice that Marine Le Pen has made the most progress, going from 22% to almost 45%.
Finally, it is in Montpellier that abstention has increased the most between the two rounds, with an increase of nearly 7 points.
Macron of the cities, Le Pen of the fields
172 municipalities voted 80% or more for Emmanuel Macron. But what is especially significant is the average of the registered in these communes where the outgoing president achieved his highest scores. Indeed, the average number of registrants is more than 16,300.
And among these municipalities, four even have more than 100,000 registered: Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux and Rennes, whose votes in the first round went mainly to Jean-Luc Mélenchon (Nantes and Rennes) and Emmanuel Macron (Paris and Bordeaux) .
If Marine Le Pen obtained 80% or more in 117 municipalities, the average of their registered voters is here, conversely, only 86 people.
