FRENCH ELECTION: Results are largely known in 10 districts in Martinique & Guadeloupe, & in Guiana. Looks like it’ll be a redo of 2022. Left coalition extremely strong in 8 of them, often > 50% or 60%. Left-leaning candidates (outside of Left coalition) dominating in 2 others.

These regions voted today, ahead of mainland France residents tomorrow

Wait didn't they just announce the elections? And they are voting and some even have their results out already?? How... UnAmerican.

Elections were called 20 days ago. The elections in mainland France are tomorrow, but expats and some regions in EST and AST time zones voted today.

Thanks.
