At noon on Saturday in Paris, it will be 8 a.m. in St-Pierre-et-Miquelon, which will be the first overseas territory to vote.

Will follow at 1:00 p.m. Paris time the opening of the polling stations in Guyana, then at 2:00 p.m., those of Martinique / Guadeloupe / Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy.

Some French people living abroad will also vote on Saturday, in particular those from North America, from 2:00 p.m. Paris time, and those from South America.

In the Pacific, voters cast their ballots on Sunday, but given the time difference, they will start heading to the polls on Saturday evening Paris time.

Thus Saturday at 10:00 p.m. in Paris, the polling stations will open in Polynesia and in Wallis and Futuna.

And at 11:00 p.m. in Paris, it will be Nouméa's turn, where it will be 8:00 a.m. on Sunday.

In the Indian Ocean, where the time difference is less, voters will vote well on Sunday.

At 6 a.m. in Paris, the polling stations will open in Reunion, followed at 7 a.m. by those in Mayotte.

The rest of French voters will vote on Sunday.

The ballot will determine which coalition, that of the outgoing presidential majority Together!, or that of the left Nupes, will be in pole position, even if the outgoing majority remains favorite according to the polling institutes.

The question is above all whether this majority will be absolute (289 deputies) or relative, determining Emmanuel Macron's ability to implement his reforms.
