French presidential election: overseas and North American voters have already started voting (DIRECT)

The presidential campaign officially ended on Friday evening. From today, it’s radio silence for the various candidates as well as for the polling institutes until the French go to the polls this Sunday.

At present, the head of state Emmanuel Macron remains at the top of the polls. But the gap is narrowing with the candidate of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, closely followed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Although many observers believe that the stakes are already cast, others postulate that a last minute surprise cannot be ruled out.
