About French Presidential Election 2027

France elects its president for a five-year term in up to two rounds. If no candidate wins an absolute majority in the first round, the top two meet in a second round two weeks later.

The government confirmed at the Council of Ministers on July 1, 2026, that the first round is on April 18, 2027, and the second round on May 2, 2027. Emmanuel Macron's second term ends on May 13, 2027, and the constitution limits a president to two consecutive terms, so he cannot run.

This countdown runs to the first round and uses 00:00 UTC on April 18, 2027 as a placeholder time, because polling hours have not been confirmed here.
