If a second round concerning only the French in the New York constituency – also encompassing New Jersey, Connecticut and Bermuda – were to take place, it would oppose Emmanuel Macron to Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The French in the United States voted this Saturday, April 9, 2022 for the first round of the presidential election. As in 2017, they overwhelmingly voted for Emmanuel Macron, renewing their confidence in him, placing far behind candidate Mélenchon, followed by Yannick Jadot. We could have announced these results last night but out of journalistic ethics, we are disclosing them at a time when France is publishing the first estimates. Pledge of our seriousness.
Massive vote for Emmanuel Macron
Only 35.94% of French people in the constituency of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Bermuda went to the polls this Saturday, April 9, 2022. That is 10,326 French people out of the 28,729 registered on the electoral list of the constituency. The appointment was given for the first round of the French presidential election. An important date for the community which voted 61.46% for the outgoing president Emmanuel Macron, renewing a loyalty to him already very largely committed in 2017. Even stronger for the first rounds of the 2022 ballot. The Consulate General of France in New York had set up some 21 polling stations to accommodate the 28,729 French people registered on the French electoral list of the constituency of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Bermuda. Only 35.46% went to the polls to confirm their support for Emmanuel Macron’s policy.
Jean-Luc Melenchon ranks second with nearly 12.44% of the vote, a very meager score compared to Emmanuel Macron.
