The result of the 1st round of the 2022 presidential election, Sunday April 10, confirmed the announced Macron-Le Pen duel. Nearly 36 million French people went to the polling stations during this first round for just over 35 million votes cast (excluding blanks and voids) counted at national level, at the end of the counting. After a whole night and a morning of reporting data from polling stations, the final result placed Emmanuel Macron in the lead with 27.84% of the vote, according to the final results published by the Ministry of the Interior on Monday, around 1 p.m. Marine Le Pen comes in second place with 23.15%, thus also qualifying for the second round of voting. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, he failed on the third step of the podium, with 21.95%, even closer than in 2017. Behind, none of the other nine candidates passed the 8% mark.
On a more local scale, all the results of this 2022 presidential election were not alike. If the finalist duo of the election came first in many territories of the metropolis, but also of the DROM-COM, Jean-Luc Mélenchon triumphs in certain cities and regions. Concretely, differences in votes have been brought to light, as in every election, according to population areas and living standards, the most well-off territories voting for the outgoing president, the north of France voting in favor of the National Rally, when the LFI candidate obtained the favors of a part of the south of the country, of some large cities and Overseas. On the other hand, if Jean Lassalle obtained good scores in his native southwest, no candidate (except the leading trio and Lassalle) triumphed in “his” territory.
Result of the 1st round of the 2022 presidential election
After long hours of counting, the Ministry of the Interior communicated the official and final results of the first round of the presidential election on Monday April 11, 2022 at the start of the afternoon:
The announcement of the final results of the first round of the 2022 presidential election has highlighted a France divided into three blocks, each representing one of the three candidates who finished on the podium by collecting more than 20% of the votes cast. Emmanuel Macron was able to rely on the regions that had elected him in 2017: the West, the Massif Central, the South-West and especially a large part of the medium-sized towns and metropolises across the territory. The outgoing president has strengthened his presence in the municipalities of Loire-Atlantique, the Alps and the Rhône, former strongholds of the Republicans. Catches that allow him to come first in 11,788 municipalities, against 7,358 in 2017.
On the side of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen is strengthening in the center of France and remains very strong in the north-east of the country. It comes first in more than 20,000 municipalities, compared to less than 19,000 five years ago. In contrast to Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen is essential in small towns far from major urban centers.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon came out on top in just under 3,000 municipalities, a figure that has fallen over five years. He won several large cities traditionally on the left or ecologists such as Nantes, Rennes, Lille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Grenoble… He also made a major breakthrough in the overseas departments.

Result of the 1st round of the 2022 presidential election by department
The results of the first round of the election should create a new sequence at the beginning of the week: the defeated and eliminated candidates of this presidential 2022 will be expected on an essential point: for whom will they call to vote in the 2nd round? The balance of power between two rounds should be established fairly quickly and the first results of the 2nd round should be available very quickly. But the campaign that opens will very naturally be very different from that before the first round, with now two projects on the table.
Result of the 1st round of the 2022 presidential election in Paris
The result of an election in Paris is always closely scrutinized. What did the voters of the capital vote for? Two years after having re-entrusted the town hall to Anne Hidalgo, did the Parisians vote in favor of their mayor, launched in the presidential race, or did they prefer, as in 2017, the candidacy of Emmanuel Macron? The second option was chosen. The outgoing president won 35.33% of the votes cast (373,204 votes), almost as many as five years ago (34.83%, 375,006 votes), ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon (30.09%, 317,814 voice) which experienced a spectacular breakthrough (19.56% in 2017, 210,548 votes).
